Dear alumni and friends,

Big things continue to happen at the University of North Texas, and this month, we announced the creation of a 36-credit-hour professional online M.B.A. in sport entertainment management in partnership with the Dallas Cowboys, and the launch of Texas' first Master of Science degree in artificial intelligence Creating new, innovative degrees in emerging fields is one way UNT is responding to the needs of industry executives and preparing students to become leaders in our rapidly changing world.

In this issue, you'll read about our spring advertising campaign, our upcoming President's Lecture Series featuring award-winning Chef Bryant Terry, and coach of the year honors for Mean Green tennis coach Sujay Lama. Plus, we highlight the ways alumna Linda Truitt Creagh ('62, '63 M.A., '67 Ph.D.) is helping our statistics students.

Thank you for your continued support of UNT and for helping our students achieve their dreams!

UNT Proud,

Neal Smatresk
President
