SUCCEED AT UNT: GET ADVISED

Welcome back, students! We hope you enjoyed your Spring Break, that your first week back is going well and you are ready to finish the rest of the school year strong.

As you get back into your normal groove, use the Navigate app to Get Advised and make sure you are staying on top of your course schedule and graduation plans.

Even if you prefer to build your own schedule, having a trained academic advisor review your classes is always helpful, like David says in his video.

Your advisor will ensure you are up to date with any degree plan changes and can connect you to professors and opportunities that could enhance your college and post-graduate career.

FINE ARTS SERIES

Rico Gatson, a multimedia visual artist celebrated for his politically layered pieces, will give an artist lecture at 7 p.m. tonight, March 20, in the University Union Lyceum as part of the Mary Jo and V. Lane Rawlins Fine Arts Series.

His artwork explores themes of history and identity (pictured is Gatson’s "Miles"), with permanent collections featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Yale University Art Gallery. The lecture is free and open to the public (no tickets required) and doors open at 6:30 p.m.

AWARD NOMINATIONS OPEN

Help recognize UNT’s exceptional student organizations, student leaders and advisors with the Eagle Awards, including the Golden Eagle Award.

For the individual Eagle Awards, nominate an outstanding student org, volunteer or leader who has made a significant impact on their organization or community.

For the prestigious Golden Eagle Award, students who have been a leader in areas such as campus life, student orgs, athletics, research, activism and mentorship and have made a positive and meaningful impact on the UNT community are encouraged to apply.

Learn more about each award and its eligibility requirements. Nominations close at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, March 24.

DINING DOLLARS

Before Spring Break, did you often find yourself eating on campus?

Make your campus dining experience easier by adding Flex dollars to your account! Flex is stored on your UNT student ID, and can be used at any of UNT’s retail restaurants as well as UNT’s dining halls.

Take the Meal Plan Quiz to discover what amount is right for you before purchasing a meal plan. Use your newly added Flex to see why UNT was voted the Best College Food in Texas!

VIRTUAL COMMENCEMENT EXPERIENCE

UNT will again host a virtual commencement experience this spring for students who earn their degree remotely via online learning options or who can’t participate in their college’s in-person ceremony. The virtual experience will include a customized slide with the name, degree and Latin honors (if applicable) and a photo and message (if submitted) for each graduate who RSVPs for the virtual option.

A link to the spring virtual ceremony will be added to the commencement schedule page early on Friday, May 10. Students who have chosen to participate in this option — and their friends and family members — may watch at their convenience.

The virtual commencement experience is not tied to the in-person commencement ceremonies. When graduation candidates RSVP between March 27 and April 12, they will indicate in which event they will participate.
