UNT'S DENTONING

If you’re in Denton this summer and haven’t been to the Denton Community Market yet, you might be missing out on some interesting items. Check out UNT’s Dentoning playlist on YouTube for something fun to do not only around town but also on campus, including conquering the Pohl Rec Center’s Climbing Wall. Denton is full of adventures, so get your Dentoning on!

EAGLE ALERT TEST

UNT will conduct a test of the Eagle Alert system on Friday, July 14. The system, used to notify the UNT community about emergency situations and university closings, will send text and voice messages by phone and display a full-screen test alert on computer and presentation screens. Follow @UNTEagleAlert on Twitter to get emergency updates in real time. After the test, we recommend that you save the number your Eagle Alert test came from in your phone contacts as “Eagle Alert” so that it doesn’t display as unknown in the future.

KASETSART WIND SYMPHONY

Join the Kasetsart Winds for their special performance at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 18, in the Murchison Performing Arts Center. Kasetsart University, located in Bangkok, Thailand, is one of seven UNT global music partners. The performance will be conducted by alumnus Nipat Kanchanahud and is free and open to the public. Don’t miss out on this exclusive chance!

RESEARCHING DALLAS BLIGHT

UNT researchers Simon Andrew and Hee Soun Jang in the Department of Public Administration worked closely with the Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity to identify economically disrupted areas around Dallas to better improve the health, safety and welfare of residents. To address the problem, they conducted a decade’s worth of work and research. They are now following up on the data to see how it has helped or changed these areas.
