Outreach coordinates initiatives and programs in partnership with local and regional school districts, businesses, and organizations relating to college awareness, recruitment and retention. UNT Outreach coordinates educational outreach programs, the Multicultural Scholastic Award Program, campus visits, G-Force and Go Center campaigns and workshops that seek to identify students, as early as elementary school (grades 3-12) and to provide motivation, encouragement, and information needed to matriculate successfully through high school to higher education. These programs help to create a college-going culture and seek to empower students through the realization that a college education is completely within the realm of possibility.
The Office of Outreach has impacted more than 55,000 students (and families) since 2008. We have witnessed an increasing demand from area school districts to provide prospective students with college information and materials. It is truly great to see so many young people learning about college planning, access and enrollment!
UNT Outreach coordinates pre-collegiate outreach programs including Outreach ExPOs (college readiness visits to UNT), the G-Force and the Go Center initiative, Multicultural Scholastic Award Program, Outreach ExPOs, Champions of Outreach, and college enrollment workshops.
