Dear UNT Supporter,

Caring for each other is at the core of who we are as a Mean Green Family, and this holiday season I encourage each of you to care for each other and spread cheer where you can. I believe we've done just that with this year's holiday video as it is sure to warm your heart.

We're putting the finishing touches on an incredibly busy year — one that saw many successes and moved our beloved university forward. This season, we celebrate record-breaking enrollment with 44,532 students, increased research productivity, new corporate partnerships, new degree programs designed to open additional opportunities for our students, and the first building at UNT at Frisco, which is set to officially open in January. And we aren't done yet. We're expecting about 11,000 students to have earned their degrees by the end of this year, and our Mean Green Football Team is headed to the Frisco Bowl against Boise State Dec. 17.

There's much to be cheerful about this season. But most of all, I'm cheering for each of you — our valued members of the UNT Family. Your incredible talents and continued support of UNT is what helps us push further and achieve even greater success each year so that we can help our students make their dreams a reality.

Thank you for all you do. I wish you a wonderfully cheerful holiday season as we head into 2023!

UNT Proud,
Neal Smatresk
President
