Among many of the diversity, equity, and inclusion milestones highlighted in the recent North Texan article “A Growing Dedication to Campus Inclusivity” is the 25th Anniversary of UNT's Multicultural Center. The center is rescheduling its official celebration event for a date (to be announced) early in the fall semester. Until then, you can learn about the Multicultural Center's creation story by watching their commemorative video produced by UNT Media Arts alumnus Micah Autry.

As areas across the country begin to see a decline, or flattening of the curve, in
COVID-19 cases, it's important to continue to take precautions to prevent the spread
of the virus. These reminders include updated information from the Centers for Disease Control.
Washing your hands and practicing social distance of 6 feet or more from others remain
the most effective ways to prevent the spread. Masks and gloves are recommended by
the CDC in specific situations. On campus, Facilities continues to clean common rooms
and general building areas. It is recommended that you sanitize your own desk or work
station, as needed.
Going above and beyond: Stories from UNT's COVID-19 response
Diana Farris commends Dr. Chris Lam in the Technical Communications department, who has been amazing throughout this entire process. From the very beginning, he has shown sincere compassion and understanding towards his students. Early on, when housing plans were uncertain for some students, he reached out offering to help them find a place to stay. “He has also done an excellent job of transferring our course from in-person to online,” says assistant to the dean Diana Farris. “I don't feel as though course quality has diminished at all. He has been present, available and proactive, which has made the transition seamless. His kindness and leadership have been comforting during these uncertain times.”
