The UT wav
A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE DEDICATED
TO THE HIGHEST GOALS
WHEN I BECAME INTERIM PRESIDENT
in 2010, I didn't plan to stay longer than a
year. But I fell in love with the work and
people of UNT. Fortunately for me, I was
" given the opportunity to stay longer. Now,
after nearly four years, I am retiring,
although I will remain involved as
President Emeritus.
I believe that top-quality public
education is a critical need in our state
and nation. Not only does it change the
lives of individuals who are able and
willing to pursue it, it is essential to our
society's economic, social and political
-- health. A few universities lead the way in
this, and I see in UNT the opportunity, drive and commitment to be among
those leaders. That has - in one way or another - been our destiny since we
were founded in 1890. Our founding president, J.C. Chilton, described our
promise and goal, "to become leaders in the education of the young men and
women of Texas.
So, when we now declare our bold vision of providing the best undergraduate
education and establishing UNT as one of the leading research and scholarly
universities in America, we are elaborating on Chilton's dream.
UNT is devoted to excellence. We attract students who are talented and will
build our society's future. Our commitment to excel goes beyond teaching and
research to providing a personal touch to students, effectively budgeting our
resources, being on the frontier of technology, improving our campus and
building a stronger athletics program. These must continue to be our priorities.
UNT is a community of people dedicated to these highest goals - a commit-
ment that I refer to as the "UNT way:' And, UNT has an environment where
ideas can be freely expressed and people nurture each other. That is why I chose
to stay, why I fell in love and why I will always be proud of my association with
UNT. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
V. Lane Rawlins
President
