AAC Outdoor Track and Field Championship
   GO MEAN GREEN   
UNT’s student-athletes have been on a roll this spring, with conference championships and national tournament appearances! 
The women’s golf team placed third at the National Golf Invitational, softball made it to the conference finals and tennis reached the semifinals of the UTR Women’s NIT Championship. Earlier this spring, the swimming and diving team brought home nine conference medals (including the program’s first-ever diving titles) and posted a strong showing at the National Invitational Championship.
Last weekend, the track and field team wrapped up its season at the AAC Outdoor Championships with two individual gold medals and 11 all-conference performances.

   MEMORIAL DAY   
Monday, May 26, is Memorial Day, a federal holiday honoring those who died in military service.
A piece of UNT history: The first permanent Union building on campus was dedicated in 1949 as the Memorial Student Union, a tribute to students and alumni who gave their lives in service. On the third floor of the current Union, a Memorial Wall honors members of the UNT community who died in World War I and World War II, as well as fellow Eagles who have served in the Armed Forces. 
In observance of the holiday, the university will be closed. Business and classes will resume Tuesday, May 27.

   ACCREDITATION RENEWAL   
The UNT Police Department is accredited through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, an achievement held by only 4% of all law enforcement agencies in the nation. The renewal process includes an open public portal for community members to submit comments about the department. If you would like to provide a comment, visit their website to learn more.
This is not an investigative body, and the purpose is to ensure the department is in compliance with CALEA Accreditation standards.
