University of North Texas 
Our Community and Contributors
Under the leadership of President Harrison Keller, Ph.D., UNT developed this five-year strategic plan. Input was gathered from more than 1,200 faculty, staff, students, alumni, community and education partners, and policymakers, as well as from existing advisory bodies such as the President’s Cabinet, the President’s Student Advisory Committee, the Faculty and Staff Senates, the Student Government Association (SGA), and the Graduate Student Council (GSC). Several advisory groups — including an Alumni Advisory Group, Denton Campus Advisory Group, and Frisco Campus Advisory Group — also assembled to provide guidance on the plan’s development.
This plan belongs to the UNT community that built it. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners across North Texas shared their ideas and energy through conversations, surveys, and advisory groups, and their voices shaped its direction. It reflects the talent, creativity, and unlimited potential that define UNT, and we are grateful to all who contributed.
Thank you to the following stakeholders who dedicated countless hours to guide and inform the direction of UNT for generations to come.
