CLOVER CELEBRATION
It’s hard to believe our beloved Clover, UNT Police’s community service dog, arrived on campus one year ago! To celebrate, the department is hosting a "Gotcha Day" celebration on Tuesday, Sept. 16, from 2-3 p.m. at the Library Mall. There will be limited edition Clover birthday stickers, cookies, drinks and, of course, opportunities to take your photo with the guest of honor.
If you're not able to make it, Clover also makes visits to student, faculty and staff groups and you can schedule those here. Or come by the Hurley Administration Building during her “Paw-ffice” hours!

SHAPE UNT'S FUTURE
UNT has launched the 2026 Campus Master Plan, an 18-month effort to create a bold, long-term vision for how our campus should grow and evolve to support UNT’s academic mission, community impact and your student experience. The plan will determine how buildings, open spaces, mobility networks and infrastructure evolve over time.
This plan needs your help! Input from students and community members will shape how this plan unfolds. You are invited to take a survey to share your experience and ideas for the future. There will be two open house sessions on Tuesday, Sept. 23, where you’re invited to grab a treat and share your input and ideas.
- Main Campus: 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at the University Union Syndicate (2nd floor)
- Discovery Park: 2:30 – 4 p.m. in front of Discovery Perks Market and Grill
