Resources

Is your student organization focused on sustainability and eco-friendly practices? We want to hear all about you and what you do for the Earth by sharing a video for EarthFest. This is a great opportunity to share some educational information with students so they can learn what it really means to be Mean Green. Sign up by Sunday, 4/11, at 11pm.

Make accessibility a priority when hosting virtual meetings and game nights so everyone can participate and enjoy! Check out CLEAR's webpage on Making Accessibility a Priority or some Quick Tips through UNT Online. Doing things such as providing captions on videos, alt text on pictures, or knowing how to make a PowerPoint accessible by using certain colors are a few of many things to make virtual events accessible. More tips and tricks can be found on our website.

UNT wants to hear from YOU about your experiences to make UNT a more inclusive and caring community. As a follow up to the Campus Inclusion Climate Survey, focus groups will begin in the Spring of 2021 to address:

Perceptions of institutional support for diversity, equity and inclusion
Experiences with discrimination, harassment and bias

These focus groups would be a great way for your officers and members to get involved. Spring 2021 focus groups will be conducted for the following student (both undergraduate and graduate) and employee (both faculty and staff) groups:

African American/Black: men and women
Hispanic/Latinx: Foreign-born and US-born
White/Caucasian: men

Incentives

Students who participate in the survey will receive a $20 Amazon e-gift card.

Voluntary participation involves attending a 60 to 90-minute focus group discussion regarding your perspectives on a Zoom meeting platform. Protocols will be used to protect anonymity.
