Mean Green Family Live | Thursday, September 16

Parent Programs invites you to join us virtually for our monthly Mean Green Family Live Webinar focusing on the adjustment to college and featuring campus partners from student activities. This FREE live webinar is held via Zoom from 8 pm - 9pm and allows parents and families to ask any questions they have about the adjustment to college for themselves or their Eagle. Can't make it? A recording of this session will be uploaded to our website.

Family Weekend | Friday, September 17 - Sunday, September 19

Mark your calendars! Family Weekend is the first big event of the year for students and their families. A variety of activities make Family Weekend a special time for students to share their new environment with friends, parents, and family members. Whether you live near or far, we want you to join your UNT family for a weekend of fun! 

1 Help your eagle start the semester on a strong note! Mastering time management within the first semester will give them a strong foundation for the rest of their undergraduate career.

The Learning Center is a great resource for building time management skills and offers a variety of programs for academic success!

2 Encourage your eagle to find a community and support system on campus to help them through their first year at UNT.

3 We want UNT students and families to feel connected to the university and part of the Mean Green Family!
