The campus will get a face-lift during the sixth annual UNT Beautification Day March 29.

Volunteers should meet at 8:30 a.m. in Parking Lot 9 (near Avenue C and West Mulberry Street). The first 200 volunteers to arrive will receive a free UNT Beautification Day T-shirt.

From 9 a.m. to noon, President Gretchen M. Bataille will join faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members to do a variety of beautification projects on campus, such as prepping flowerbeds, pulling weeds from flowerbeds, putting down mulch, painting and picking up litter.

A free lunch of grilled burgers, hot dogs, chips and drinks will be available following the event in the University Union portico.

UNT Beautification Day will continue as scheduled in light rain but will be canceled in heavy rain and/or thunderstorms. There is no rain date scheduled. Volunteers are encouraged to bring gloves, hats and sunglasses and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
