YOUR FEEDBACK IS NEEDED

We need your feedback on two important university-related items!

President Keller’s Student Success Project Team has released its recommendations for improving student success at UNT. Students are encouraged to read the recommendations and provide feedback through Friday, Nov. 15.

In addition, the Strategic Budgeting Project Team is seeking input from students on which activities should be prioritized in the university’s budget model. Share your thoughts by completing the form by Monday, Nov. 18.

TALK ABOUT CONSENT

Student Affairs is hosting focus groups to understand students' views on sexual consent and the campus climate around it. These findings can help drive programming and potential campaign decisions for UNT. Sign up for a focus group and share your views!
