This new term brings many additions like The Market and improvements to Chilton Hall and the Coliseum. Staff are making the campus better and even more beautiful, and we can’t wait for students to enjoy it!

Reach out to your professors with any last-minute questions to clear up any confusion before finals, and make sure to balance studying with sleeping. It’s never too late to start a study group, so connect with your classmates to finish the summer semester strong. You’re almost there!
Students reading The Campus Chat.
  NORTH TEXAS NEWS  
In a recent issue we asked, “What was the original name of UNT’s student newspaper?” The correct answer is The Campus Chat, which became the North Texas Daily in 1970. By then, the newspaper had won 53 All-American ratings and five Pacemaker awards from the Associated Collegiate Press. Browse UNT’s Portal to Texas History to see old Campus Chat issues and more.
Thank you to everyone who participated! Winners should have received an email with instructions on how to pick up their prize pack. Stay tuned for the next trivia contest in August!

  UNT ENGINEERING AWARDED GOVERNMENT GRANT  
The Department of Mechanical Engineering received an $800,000 grant from the U.S. Army Research Office to study a manufacturing process for critical machinery parts that could help all branches of the military. Department chair Herman Shen and associate professor Hector Siller will lead teams of undergraduate and postdoctoral researchers as they investigate the production of more reliable and durable replacement parts that crew on military vessels could build themselves. Paul S. Krueger will oversee this process as the new dean of the College of Engineering. We are so excited to see their work and research!
