Who has the greatest Texas-sized welcome center in all the land? The University of North Texas does!!
The UNT Welcome Center is where all visitors start their campus tours and learn more about the university. It officially opened on March 4, 2019, and it is attached to the newest dorm on campus called, Joe Greene, named after UNT football legend "Mean" Joe Greene.
Although our daughter started UNT a year before the welcome center was built, we did stop by before it was complete and got a sneak peek! The building elevation is beautiful, the lobby is huge, and this space has the most intense UNT branding on campus. It looks and feels like a magnificent resort hotel. There are many friendly faces, UNT hosts called Eagle Ambassadors that will answer any questions you may have.
I did a little research and learned that UNT is doing campus tours very differently because of the pandemic. They typically offer several ways to experience the campus including walking tours, tram tours, academic tours, etc. But for now, due to COVID19, they are offering limited capacity in-person walking tours and guided virtual tours. The in-person walking tours last about 90 minutes. To support social guidelines, the walking portion of the tour is limited to 10 guests including the guide.
Hang in there!!! When campus life returns to normal UNT will follow through with some sort of celebration. For now, they have an amazing Facebook page where you can find great information: https://www.facebook.com/TourUNT/photos/?ref=page_internal read more
