The UNT Grad Block Party is an opportunity for the entire UNT community to come together and celebrate everything our grads have accomplished! This free event is filled with festivities including commemorative giveaways, a special gift for graduates, festival-type food, live music, games, photo ops, Scrappy, and UNT merchandise and memorabilia.

Everything wraps up with a senior toast, fireworks and the UNT Alma Mater at dark.

 

 

UNT graduates from the current academic year are the guests of honor, and the entire UNT community is invited to join the festivities including guests of graduates, faculty and staff, alumni and current students. Graduates should bring their tassels and UNT ID to receive a free graduation gift.

 And we'd like to be the first to welcome new UNT graduates to the alumni community! Alumni enjoy access to alumni networking events, Mean Green tailgate fun at the Alumni Pavilion, alumni group insurance, retail discounts and more.
