It has been a busy time for our campus.
We launched our first Veterans Day event on Nov. 11 to a host of student and outside speakers. Another tradition for us to celebrate.
Prospective students and parents have attended several programs to learn more about UNT Dallas and enrollment for spring looks very promising.
Planning for fall commencement is in full swing, and we look forward to sending our latest graduates out into the world.
I hope you enjoy this latest newsletter.
