The UNT community is making significant breakthroughs this year. Our alumni and faculty are breaking barriers in all areas of society, from advancing teaching to supporting healthy habits for individuals with disabilities. Our researchers are breaking the patterns of the fashion industry, developing innovative ways to provide sustainability. Athletics is winning championships and, as football season begins, there is a new name for its home, DATCU Stadium, as it enters the more prestigious American Athletic Conference.
The Mean Green Nation has numerous examples of alumni who found their passion for creativity and caring for others as students. We caught up with several alumni -- including Quincy Ollison ('75), the university's first Black Student Government Association president -- who showed leadership during their time on campus. Decades later, they still practice service for others.
Are there other classmates you would like to see profiled? Do you have good news to share? If so, let us know by dropping us a line at northtexan@unt.edu.

Cover Story
Breaking Barriers
As members of our community near and far gear up for the start of another school year, many will be on the frontlines of helping others be successful. Whether it's teaching children with learning difficulties how to communicate better or showing students that anyone can be a mathematician, UNT alumni are finding innovative, interdisciplinary ways to bring equity and access in all areas of society. "There is a solid business case for practicing inclusiveness: productivity," says Raquel Daniels ('94, '08 M.J.), vice president and chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer for Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC).
