The UNT Veterans Center officially opened in August 2009 and supports hundreds of individual students per year. The Center is a partner in several "veteran-friendly" initiatives on the University of North Texas campus. The primary focus of the center is to increase student veterans integration into campus life and increase outreach and student-centered initiatives that remove barriers for student veterans.

SALUTE Veterans National Honor Society

The SALUTE Honor Society recognizes American active military and student veterans who have earned an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher (graduate students must have a minimum of 3.5 GPA). See SALUTE Veterans National Honor Society for more information.

Veterans Day

In collaboration with the Student Veterans Association, the UNT Veterans Center hosted the Inaugural Veterans Day Ceremony on November 11, 2009. The guest speakers for the inaugural event included Congressman Michael C. Burgess and Texas State Representative Myra Crownover. See Veterans Day for more information.

UNT Veteran Friendly Campaign

The purpose of the Veteran Friendly Campaign is to increase faculty, staff and student community sensitivity to student veterans.  This training can enhance the professional, academic and social development and success for student veterans. See UNT Veteran Friendly Campaign for more information.  If you would like to schedule a sensitivity training for your department or university group, please call 940-369-8021 or email Veteranscenter@unt.edu

Operation Soaring Eagle

To further advance the veteran-friendly mission, the Veterans Center is strategically starting to develop a pilot campaign to collect care packages for active military in conjuction with Veterans Day and to be shipped during the Holidays.  The aim is to foster international relationships with active military, to increase support as well as connection to UNT.
