Drive

UNT’s focus on human creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship drives creative advances, partnerships, and new models of higher education to power our region’s global leadership in business, technology, manufacturing, and the arts to build a better tomorrow.

We drive progress by nurturing human ingenuity, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving. We bring together researchers, artists, employers, and communities to tackle complex challenges with fresh ideas and meaningful solutions. And we look constantly for new ways to improve our efforts as good stewards of Texans’ investments in our work.

By expanding opportunities for students to apply what they are learning in professional contexts and by supporting innovative collaborations among faculty members and employers, we ensure the relevance of our work and increase our contributions to society.

By emphasizing creativity, entrepreneurship, and the use of new technologies across academic disciplines, UNT sparks new ideas that challenge convention and equip our graduates to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

This same spirit drives the people who power UNT — faculty and staff who experiment, collaborate, and continuously grow as educators and innovators. We translate inspiration and insight into impact, and our partnerships drive progress at scale.
