Department Summary

One of the goals of Student Activities is to help students get connected and involved on campus, to maximize their collegiate experience. Through a variety of events, services, and resources, the department provides students and student organizations with opportunities to connect to the university and to other students. Student Activities promotes a sense of community and loyalty to the University while serving to enhance the social and developmental growth of students as individuals or as members of organizations. It does this by coordinating annual campus-wide events that promote spirit and tradition on campus, supporting the North Texas Spirit program, and providing services and resources to student organizations.

The student organization team consists of five staff members who work collaboratively to connect students with involvement opportunities and to provide support to student organizations. While each member oversees specific service areas, the team is collectively responsible for developing a comprehensive program for student organizations. The Coordinator of Student Organizations is responsible for organizing the registration and management of, and developing programs and services for, over 450 student organizations. While this position focuses on providing resources and services for student organizations, the primary aim is to foster the mission of Student Activities, the Division of Student Affairs, and the University of North Texas.
