Under the leadership of President Keller, the plan emphasizes three core priorities: Develop, Discover, and Drive. UNT will focus on developing the potential of its students and community members to meet the needs of the changing economy, discovering new insights and innovations that bridge disciplines to advance Texas’ competitiveness, and driving innovation, partnerships and economic growth to build a better tomorrow.
