HOME GAME FESTIVITIES

Let’s fill the stands at the home opener against Stephen F. Austin at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, at DATCU Stadium! We hope to see you there in your Mean Green attire. Join the pre-game festivities at Mean Green Live, which begins at 3 p.m. in the tailgate area, featuring special guests Jersey Goldman and Bordeaux. Then, stick around after the game to see a laser light show.

Claim your free ticket before every home game and guest tickets are available for $10. Check the stadium guide for information about game days, including the clear bag policy.

Got plans tonight? Join UPC from 6-7:30 p.m. today, Wednesday, Sept. 4, on the University Union South Lawn for Pass, Punt and Party. Get pumped for Mean Green football, learn about campus traditions, tailgating and how to claim free tickets. Plus, enjoy Kona Ice and meet the team and coaches.

UNT MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE

The university appreciates the hard work and dedication of all UNT student employees, who play a vital role in supporting our campus community.

Starting Sept. 1, the minimum wage for student employees increased to $9.50 per hour. This increase will be reflected in your Oct. 1 paycheck for the Sept. 1 to 15 pay period, and all future pay periods. Students currently earning more than $9.50 per hour will not be affected by this change.

NAME THE SERVICE PUP!

The UNT Police Department needs your help choosing the perfect name for a new furry friend joining the team! Many of you have loved meeting the explosives detection dogs — Watson is the newest of those — so the PD is adding a dog you can pet and interact with as part of her job. She’ll offer support and attend events once she’s a bit older and is working on her training.

Cast your vote by noon Sept. 6. The winning name will be revealed during the football game Saturday, Sept. 7.

COFFEE AND CONVOS

Brought to you by Non-Traditional and Commuter Support, Coffee and Convos is your chance to enjoy a free coffee while getting to know your favorite professor.

It’s all about encouraging nontraditional, commuter and graduate students to make the most of office hours or to connect with a mentor at UNT. Complete the pre-survey by Nov. 15 to participate!

MENTAL HEALTH CHECK-IN

Your mental health matters and UNT is here to support you. The university provides many resources to help you when you need it most, check out mentalhealthmatters.unt.edu to learn more.

Suicide Awareness Day is Tuesday, Sept. 10, and the Student Health and Wellness Center will host Eagle’s Nest Check-In from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the University Union South Lawn. Explore booths from student organizations and campus partners dedicated to mental health awareness, stigma reduction and positive coping skills.

SAFETY FIRST

Good news! Central Avenue is now completely re-opened, and one-way traffic has resumed on Maple between Welch and Central. That means Maple is one-way again (going west) from Welch to Avenue B.

As construction continues around campus, it's important to stay alert and avoid work zones for your safety. The first treatment using lime on Avenue C from Highland Street to Eagle Drive is scheduled Sept 12-13. Only work crews should be on the job site while this dangerous material is being handled, and unauthorized people should not enter the site at any time.

PROFESSIONAL PICTURE DAY

Put on your business attire and strike a pose at Professional Picture Day, hosted by Non-Traditional and Commuter Support! From 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, in University Union 335, UNT students can get a free, high-quality digital headshot. This is perfect for LinkedIn profiles, resumes, digital business cards or other professional uses. Bring your current student ID with you. This event is first-come, first-served, with no appointment needed. There will be three more picture days later this semester.
