Dear UNT community,

This holiday season, UNT is celebrating 125 years of history, opportunity and impact.

In that time, we've changed hundreds of thousands of lives by helping our students fulfill their dreams. And we've been changed by the hundreds of thousands who've become part of the UNT family and shaped our past, present and future.

Our transformation from a teacher's training school to the nation's 25th largest university is as wonderful as our holiday video. When you combine vision, boundless creativity and a lot of hard work like we do at UNT, something magical happens. That magic happens every day on our campus, fueled by curiosity, inspiration and knowledge.

As we celebrate our history and envision the next 125 years, we give thanks to each of you who make up the Mean Green Nation. You are the reason that UNT has such a rich legacy and such a bright future.

We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season. May it be filled with magic and wonder.

UNT Proud,
Neal and Debbie Smatresk
