CELEBRATING SUCCESS

It’s the last week of the spring semester and we’re celebrating commencement all weekend long, from the first ceremony beginning 8 a.m. Friday through the 14th ceremony, which begins at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

Here are some final reminders:

The College of Music ceremonies will take place in the Murchison Performing Arts Center, and all others will be in the UNT Coliseum, which enforces a clear bag policy and pass through metal detectors.
See the full schedule, links to the livestream and the virtual commencement experience.
Note that traffic on campus will be heavy, especially on the west side.
Share information about directions and parking with your invited guests so they know where to go.
Read the stories of this semester’s Great Grads. They’re a small sample of all the students who impress and inspire us daily.

ConGRADulations! We’re proud of all you’ve accomplished!

THANK A TEACHER

Now that you’re almost done with final exams, take a moment to think about the professors who made a positive impact on your college career. Make their day by sharing a meaningful message through the Thank a Teacher program.

MAY MOVE-OUT

Residence halls close at 5 p.m. Friday, May 10, but keep in mind that commencement ceremonies begin at 8 a.m. that day, so checking out earlier in the week is better if possible to avoid congested traffic.

Make sure to follow all room cleaning and bathroom cleaning guidelines and read more about spring move-out procedures.

SCRAPPY AUDITIONS

So, you think you can Scrappy? If you have what it takes to be UNT’s top bird, come out and show off your best performance at mascot auditions at 7 p.m. tomorrow, May 9, or Friday, May 10, in University Union 227 (you only have to attend one of the two dates).

Learn about the perks and requirements of being Scrappy. If you don’t meet the requirements and want to be Scrappy’s “bodyguard,” email tracy.frier@unt.edu for more details.

UNT WEEKLY WORDLE

How good are you at guessing five-letter words?

Get ready for a new challenge. This week we want you to guess our custom UNT-themed wordle! In celebration of the end of the semester, the subject is all about graduation. Send an email with the answer to be entered into a random drawing for a UNT T-shirt. Keep an eye out for the word reveal in an upcoming UNT Weekly issue!
