PREPARE FOR JOBS AND INTERNSHIPS

Interviews can be intimidating, but the Career Center is here to help you prepare for questions that may come your way. All undergraduate students are invited to participate in Speed Mock Interviews from 1 to 4 p.m. April 7, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 8, at Sage Hall or Discovery Park.

If you’re interested in participating, sign up by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, April 1. You will be paired with a UNT Employer Partner or Career Center Coach for a fast-paced practice session designed to help you build confidence and sharpen your responses.

FOOD FOR FINES

Transportation Services is bringing back its Food for Fines program to support the UNT Food Pantry, starting April 1. Pay off up to three citations by donating unopened, non-perishable food items (some exceptions apply).

Donations can be brought to the office in the Highland Street Garage between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, until May 9.

IT'S MONEY MONTH

Taxes may seem wicked, but they don’t have to be a mystery. Join the Student Money Management Center for Money Month 2025! First up is Tax Quest on April 1, a session breaking down the basics of taxes — what they are, how they work and what you need to know before filing, just in time for the April 15 tax deadline.

Check the Coming Up section each week for new financial literacy events happening in April.

SCRAPPY'S TRIVIA

Do you know which building on campus houses a Lucky the Squirrel display?

Lucky, UNT’s beloved unofficial mascot, became a campus legend before being memorialized in 2016. But he wasn’t the first — or the last! A lineage of albino squirrels has made UNT its home since the 1990s, with local lore claiming that spotting one brings good luck to students, especially on exams.

Send an email with the correct answer to be entered into a random drawing for a UNT T-shirt. The answer will be revealed in a future UNT Weekly issue, so stay tuned.

VOLUNTEER FOR GRAD BLOCK PARTY

The Grad Block Party is returning Friday, May 9, and it takes a team to pull off this massive celebration. Volunteers are needed to help accommodate more than 6,000 attendees and keep the event running smoothly. This is a great opportunity for student organizations and individuals to get involved. Sign up by April 11 to volunteer and you will receive a Grad Block Party T-shirt!
