THANK A TEACHER

Outstanding teachers make a difference. Say “thanks” with the Thank a Teacher program. Submit an online form with your message and it will then be sent to the teacher as part of a letter of recognition from the provost. You can submit as many notes as you want and remain anonymous if you’d like. You also can thank your advisors!

COMMENCEMENT KEEPSAKE

Attention, Spring 2026 graduating students! UNT is changing the way it provides commencement programs, starting this spring. Due to dwindling demand in recent years and an effort to reduce waste and save funds, free printed programs will no longer be available for pick-up on the days leading up to and following commencement ceremonies.

Students who would like to order printed copies of the program may do so for $10 a copy plus tax. Preorders can be placed starting today, March 25, through Friday, May 15, and purchased copies may be picked up at Eagle Images in the University Services Building Monday, May 4, through 5 p.m. Friday, May 22.

As always, starting Monday, May 4. the digital and downloadable program will be available on the commencement website.

LINKEDIN TOUR STOP

Mark your calendars: LinkedIn is coming to UNT! Attend a skills workshop and lunch on Tuesday, April 21, and dive into a three-day interactive experience in the Business Leadership Building, Monday, April 20, through Wednesday, April 22. Free headshots, quizzes, swag and career-boosting tips — don’t miss it. More details to come in UNT Weekly.

ROCKIN' RESEARCH

If you are an undergrad student who wants to conduct research in your field of study, apply for the Undergraduate Research Fellowship. Students who are accepted will spend the 2026-27 academic year conducting research under the supervision of a faculty member and will receive a $500 award after presenting their research on Scholars Day in Spring 2027.

The application deadline is Friday, April 17. There are a few steps and an essay required, so don’t wait to get started! Check out the Honors College website to see if you are eligible.

This fair offers job opportunities for many educational roles, including teachers, counselors, speech therapists and more.

EAGLE ALERT CHANGE

The March UNT Eagle Alert test has been moved to 10 a.m. Thursday, April 2, in coordination with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM). Because this is a statewide drill with multiple agencies and jurisdictions, you may receive multiple alerts. There is no action and no need to be alarmed as this is only a test. UNT holds monthly tests to make sure the Eagle Alert system functions properly. You will receive a text message, phone call and email from the system indicating that the message is part of a test.

If there’s been a change to your contact information, visit my.unt.edu and update it on the contacts tab to ensure you receive every Eagle Alert.

WORLD OF SPORTS

If you haven’t picked a major yet and are curious about a career in sports, plan to attend the World of Sports panel discussions from 10 a.m. to noon Friday, March 27, in the Business Leadership Building, Room 155. There will be two panel discussions: “From Classroom to Career: The B.B.A. SEM Advantage” and “Taking the Field: Life in the Sport Industry.” Make sure you register for the event by 7 p.m. Thursday, March 26.
