Community Impact Recognition

Celebrate your impact on the Honors College community and be recognized for your personal, professional, and skill development as a UNT student! Students can earn points toward the Community Impact Recognition by engaging in leadership development, creative entrepreneurship, civic engagement, and academic development programs. Honors College students at UNT will develop as scholars, citizens, and professionals – we invite you to gain recognition for your impact.

Students will be awarded the Community Impact Recognition and receive their award the semester they graduate from UNT.
