What Readers Can Find on The North Texan Website

The North Texan (northtexan.unt.edu) is the University of North Texas's alumni magazine site. It publishes feature stories about alumni, faculty, and research, along with recurring sections such as Class Notes, Obituaries, Notable & Famous Alumni, and an archive of past issues. It is worth browsing if you want long-form profiles of UNT graduates, campus news, or a way to reconnect with the university; it is not a news wire or a student-services portal.

Main Content Types

The homepage organizes content into a few clear buckets:

• Feature stories — profiles of alumni and their careers, faculty research, and campus life. Examples visible on the site include a profile of actress K Callan ('64), a piece on independent music figure Will Johnson ('97), and a story on Half Price Books president Kathy Thomas ('84 M.B.A.).
• Cool Classes — short items on distinctive courses students can take.
• Research coverage — stories on alumni and faculty studying the stars, among other topics.
• UNT News and Alumni Spotlight — shorter items on current students, awards, and university happenings, such as the 10 Under 10 Awards for recent graduates.
• Boom State — a feature on Texas growth and alumni in government, real estate, and other sectors.

Recurring Sections

Beyond the story feed, the site's navigation lists several standing sections:

These sections make the site useful as a lookup tool, not just a reading feed — for example, if you want to check whether a classmate's update or an obituary has been published.

Practical Details

• Search works across the site or all of UNT, so you can search for a specific alum's name or a topic.
• Newsletter — the footer includes a "Subscribe to our newsletter" link. The site does not state a price or login requirement for it, so treat access terms as unconfirmed until you click through.
• Contact — the magazine lists [email protected] and 940-565-2108, plus a mailing address at 1155 Union Circle #311070, Denton, Texas 76203-5017. There is also an "Update your address" link for alumni records.
• Quicklinks in the header point to MyUNT, Canvas, student email, and the UNT directory — handy if you arrived here while looking for a university service rather than the magazine.

When It's the Right Destination

Use The North Texan if you want to read alumni profiles, browse past issues, submit or check Class Notes, or find obituaries and notable-alumni features. If you need admissions, registration, or course materials, the header quicklinks to MyUNT and Canvas are the better starting points.
