Dear Alum,
I hope you were able to join us for Homecoming this year. We celebrated 126 years of excellence, tradition and pride as a campus community, and we had a great time!
Homecoming also is about game day fun. Our Mean Green football team has had some impressive wins under new coach Seth Littrell, like the one against Army in October. We hope to finish the season strong with two games to go -- Saturday's home game against Southern Miss and the Nov. 26 game at UTEP.
We're focused on building a winning program in football and in all of our sports -- and we're in it for the long haul. We're a Carnegie-ranked top-tier -- Tier One -- research university, and we want to be Tier One in athletics, too. Many of our teams, like our women's soccer team, already are excelling in competition. The team recently captured its third-straight Conference USA regular-season championship and has three players on the C-USA All-Conference list. We want that kind of success across the board. With our new vice president and director of athletics, Wren Baker, we have the right leader with the vision, energy and experience to make that happen.
Athletics helps to build our image and reputation, along with world-class academics and research. Together, they make UNT a nationally prominent university and a top choice for students.
The support of our alumni and friends is another essential ingredient. I hope you'll continue to support UNT, get involved and show the world what it means to be a proud member of the Mean Green Nation. Go Mean Green!
UNT Proud,
Neal Smatresk
President
