A wonderful story about the passion and perseverance of one of our students. UNT College of Education students never fail to amaze! ‪#‎UNT‬

The College of Education marked the final week of UNT's 125th celebration with a fun reception today in Matthews Hall! Our very own Jim Laney, chair of the Department of Teacher Education and Administration, just so happens to be the grandson of UNT's eighth president, James C. Matthews (as in Matthews Hall ... Cool, right?!).

Dr. Laney told stories about growing up on UNT's campus. The landscape may be different, but our commitment to education is just as strong! Learn more at 125.unt.edu. ‪#‎UNT‬ ‪#‎UNTCOE‬

We're always proud of our wonderful faculty, but this past January, they really went above and beyond when faculty member R. Jefferson George (far right, speaking to UNT President Neal Smatresk) suffered a heart attack during a college meeting. Fellow faculty members Doryce Judd, Jakob Vingren and Jeanne Tunks, as well as first responder Cpl. Pete Uranga, jumped into action to save Dr. George's life with CPR.

Today the president celebrated their quick thinking and their lifesaving actions. Many of the firefighters who helped that day were also able to attend. Bravo! ‪#‎UNT‬ ‪#‎UNTCOE‬

If you're doing something fun for spring break (and, yes, taking your dog for a walk around the block totally counts), make sure you share a photo showing your Mean Green pride on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag ‪#‎UNTGreen‬! Wear a green shirt, throw a Scrappy claw, wave your UNT flag -- get creative. smile emoticon ‪#‎UNT‬
