Ten of the student-athletes are from the DFW area, including players from Duncanville, Red Oak, Dallas Hillcrest, Plano East and Plano Sr. High, where Belcher won the Class 6A girls state championship a couple of years ago. The women's team has 22 games currently on the 2020-21 schedule with hopes of scheduling up to 28 games. Opponents include Paul Quinn, Langston University, LSU Shreveport, Arlington Baptist and Texas Wesleyan. Men's basketball coach Josh Howard has 14 student-athletes on his inaugural roster with one spot up for grabs once school starts. Coach Howard has assembled a transfer-heavy roster of players, many of whom have roots in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Two of his former players at Piedmont International University in Winston-Salem, N.C., are following him to UNT Dallas. Other out-of-state recruits include a player from Minneapolis and one from Natchitoches, La. The men's squad currently has 18 games scheduled, highlighted by matchups against Tulsa, UT-Arlington, LSU Shreveport and Paul Quinn. Cross country and track coach Kenneth Royal has assembled a squad of 13 women and 15 men. About half were recruited from DFW high schools, including in Dallas, Arlington, Mesquite, Seaogoville, Fort Worth and McKinney. His recruiting reach extends to Port Arthur, Fort Bend County (southwest Houston), San Antonio and Beaumont. Three recruits are transfers from Missouri Southern State, Coffeyville Community College (Kansas), and Johnson & Wales University (Rhode Island). SCHOOL OF EDUCATION STUDENT WINS SCHOLARSHIP: Congratulations to future teacher Meranda Aguirre, the winner of TeachDFW's $1,000 COVID-19 response scholarship. "As a first-generation college student, coming up with adequate funds to continue and succeed in school has proven difficult at times," Aguirre said. In this generation, we need teachers who strive to inspire every child." Students can apply for the TeachDFW scholarship by clicking here.
TRAILBLAZER SHOUTOUTS: We love when our UNT Dallas faculty, staff and students receive the recognition they deserve. It put a smile on our faces to see world languages and linguistics assistant professor Robert Tinajero get a spread in SHOUTOUT DFW. He provided the website with a colorful Q&A in which he spoke about what makes him happy -- his family and being a professor at UNT Dallas -- shares his favorite Dallas food and lounging spots, and gives a shoutout to those he believes deserves a little exposure. UNT Dallas alumna Olivé Kinga, now a graduate student at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, was interning at the Dallas Foundation and made a lasting impression on a gentleman while discusssing homelessness and poverty in the United States. That gentleman, David Gruber, penned a blog post for Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance titled, "You were right, Olivé! Homelessness makes no sense and we are going to end it." Kinga is now working on her second master's degree at the University of Geneva. Share this email: Manage your preferences | Opt out using TrueRemove Got this as a forward?
