Bio
Dr. Judith Forney, before being named dean of UNT's College of Merchandising, Hospitality, and Tourism, served as interim dean since September 1998. One of her most recent ventures provided UNT's online merchandising degree to the federal employees of the Army Air Force Exchange Service in U.S. military bases around the world. She also oversaw the development of the online degree, which is the first of its kind in the nation. Dr. Forney played a key role in building a partnership with J.C. Penney Co. Inc. to establish the UNT Campus Catalog -- a student-run catalog store on campus created as a prototype of a merchandising lab.
