   DATCU IN THE UNION   
President Neal Smatresk, Scrappy and students joined DATCU leadership to celebrate the March 6 opening of DATCU’s newest branch in the University Union. The branch opening is another step in the UNT-DATCU partnership, which renamed the UNT football stadium and made DATCU the official financial institution and exclusive credit union of UNT Athletics and the UNT Alumni Association.
As part of the partnership, DATCU also is working to provide financial literacy training and seminars to help students develop the soft skills needed to successfully enter today's dynamic workforce.
