Letter from UNT Parent Programs

Dear Parents and Family Members,

The office of Orientation and Transition Programs, specifically Parent Programs, is a resource for you and your students during their time at UNT. One of the primary goals of the programs offered through our office and the Parent Association is to provide families with the tools they need to stay connected and help their students thrive throughout the college years. At UNT, we believe students do not come to college alone. Each student is supported by family, friends and advisors along their journey. As your family transitions into the University of North Texas, we want to offer you the resources and support you will need to be successful on our campus. Research shows us that parents and family members play a critical role in helping students transition and succeed at UNT.

We believe that by partnering with you, and keeping you informed about and engaged with the university, we strengthen the Mean Green. We offer a number of ways for you to stay informed about UNT and connect to other parents. The primary way to stay connected is through our website, parents.unt.edu.

Just as every family communicates differently, we offer you a variety of ways to stay in touch:

• Join the UNT Parent Association

• Join the Mean Green Family page on Facebook • Communicate with UNT staff through email at parents@unt.edu • Participate in one of our signature campus events Thanks for supporting the University of North Texas, and for entrusting us with your sons and daughters.

Sincerely, Stephanie Brown

Director, Orientation and Transition Programs
