Our series will also cover an array of interviews with individuals who departments that can enhance the student experience while attending UNT a successful one!

… on the lighter side of everything higher-education, we will also begin production in the fall with our “UNT CRIBS” parody series, which allows the students living off-campus to show us their apartment community and how they live like rock-stars while attending UNT! Our series will star our very own Jazlyn Drake, UNT junior from Dallas, Texas. This video series begins production in mid-March of 2025 and ready for viewership in April. We cannot wait!
