University Day

UNIVERSITY DAY 2016 WILL BE HELD ON APRIL 7TH

11:00am - 1:30pm - Library Mall

The first University Day was held on May 10, 1961, when North Texas State College became North Texas State University. Now, we celebrate our university status every year with free food, music, and activities. Join us for a picnic lunch, giveaways, and entertainment. Free with current UNT Faculty, Staff, or Student ID.

For the fifth year, the annual Flag Parade will precede University Day. Groups of students from different countries around the world (wearing their native dress and carrying their native flag), along with student organizations, will participate. The parade starts at 11AM at Marquis Hall. The official University Day ceremony will start at 11:30AM, which includes a welcome; a historical proclamation by the Mayor of Denton, pronouncing the college a university; and music by the pep band. UNT departments, student organizations, and local vendors will be on hand to distribute information about their respective areas.
