   EAGLE EYES   

Now that the weather is warmer, it’s a good time to explore campus in ways you haven’t before. Make walking fun with Where’s Scrappy?, a month-long challenge where you pick up a passport and search for Scrappy cutouts in 25 different offices or departments on campus, then have your passport stamped when you find him. Once your passport is fully stamped by the front desk staff at each location, turn it in to win prizes.

The challenge starts today, April 1, and ends Thursday, April 30, so get started and keep your eyes peeled for Scrappy!

You have until Friday, May 8, to donate non-perishable food items for the UNT Food Pantry and receive credit toward eligible parking citations.
