Bringing the world to you

UNT brings renowned personalities to campus for performances and lectures, which complement film and literature series, art exhibitions, dance and theatre productions, cultural celebrations and more than 1,000 musical concerts each year.

Recently, U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus discussed the missions of the Navy and Marine Corps at a public lecture at the University of North Texas on Dec. 18, 2009.

In an address titled, The Navy and Marine Corps: America's Away Team, Mabus discussed the many roles played by the two military branches, ranging from major combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan to naval diplomacy, security force assistance, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.

Mabus' visit builds upon UNT's long established commitment to the U.S. Armed Forces. UNT has an estimated 1,200 known student veterans, and the university recently opened the Veterans Center to help those veterans transition from military life to college.

UNT researchers also are heavily involved in military-related research, including projects to make environmentally friendly packaging for Meals Ready-to-Eat and to develop stronger, more durable jet engines and airplane parts.

The university has organized a committee of more than 45 members who serve on a dozen work groups to better support you, our veteran student population.

We’re indebted to you and your service. We’re committed to your success. Join us at UNT – the best place for the next step in your life.
