Dear UNT community,
We're three weeks into our new school year, and we already have so much to celebrate. The school year has started strong with an enrollment increase, another great freshman class and our first football win of the season. There is excitement and energy on campus as we hold our heads high as a Carnegie R1 research university.
We're celebrating our progress and our future Thursday at the 2016 State of the University. The event details are below. You also should plan to celebrate UNT's 126th birthday at the Founder's Day Picnic Friday in the Library Mall.
I hope you'll join me for the State of the University as we look to a new era of opportunity for UNT. The best is yet to come!
UNT Proud,
Neal Smatresk
