TGS Doors Are Closed
January 2014
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the doors to this wonderful program have to close in 2014. Our Administrative Coordinator, Anne Middleton, will continue in the TGS office through the end of the University's fiscal year so that we can close down the office and cease TGS functions. Our phone number 940-369-8918 and web address will remain active at this time. We will update this site as news warrants.
We thank you for your support and encouragement these past few years and want to continue to hear from our alumni.

The Metroplex Technology Business Council presented the first Tech Titans awards in 2001 at gala ceremonies at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in downtown Dallas. From that modest beginning of six award presentations, Tech Titans has grown to become the largest annual event honoring achievement and innovation in the technology industry in North Texas. Awards are now presented in ten categories along with the Tech Titans of the Future Scholarship Awards for both the university and high school levels.
This program recognizes world-class talent, innovation and leadership in the North Texas technology industry. Companies large and small, individual contributors and even rising young stars will be recognized for their cutting-edge innovations that have shaped the tech industry.

Our TGS program was a finalist in the category of Tech Titan of the Future-University Level which recognizes educational institutions that encourage/support students to choose technology and engineering as career paths. Dr. Chiao, TGS Nanotechnology teacher and UTA faculty member, was the winner in the Technology Innovator category. Congratulations to both Dr. Chiao and Dr. Reidy, Director of the TGS program at UNT.
