Dear Faculty and Staff,

The holiday season is an exciting time at UNT and around our community. I love seeing the campus decorated, our students preparing for finals and graduation, and the chill in the air as North Texas descends into the winter months.

I invite you to join me in celebrating our second annual UNT System Season of Giving. This is an opportunity to put our Shared Values into action, show our caring spirit, and give to those in need this year. There are many ways to give, whether it’s with your time, resources, expertise, or advocacy. When we come together, we can make a great impact on our campus and in our communities.

We have a lot to celebrate this year, and none of it would be possible without your hard work and dedication. I also know the holidays can sometimes be stressful, so I hope you will take time to slow down and enjoy making special memories with your family and friends. I can’t wait to celebrate with you at the Faculty and Staff Holiday Party Dec. 6.

Thank you all for everything you do.

UNT Proud,
Neal Smatresk
President
