This Kennedy Center Honors-type event will allow the UNT Foundation to annually celebrate former UNT students who have made a profound impact on our culture and society. The honorees for the inaugural year include:
- "Mean" Joe Greene, former Pittsburgh Steeler and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame
- Roy Orbison (represented by his family), Rock and Roll icon
- Mary Suhm, Dallas City Manager
These trailblazers will be celebrated from the Meyerson stage via career video retrospectives, remarks by spears significant to their careers and by musical tributes arranged by the UNT College of Music. During the show, the honorees will watch from private boxes, surrounded by family and friends.
The event will also spotlight the wonderful stories of the evening's beneficiary, UNT's award-winning Emerald Eagle Scholars program. The program helps high-achieving but financially challenged students achieve their college dreams by providing financial and academic support and campus connections. It has allowed more than 2,400 student-most of whom are first-generation college students-to attend UNT.
The Emerald Eagle Honors will be an evening of celebration and entertainment not to be missed!
