Greetings Colleagues,
I hope you enjoyed a restorative winter break. As we embark upon a new year and a new semester, I want to express my gratitude for the many ways you inspire, support, and care for our students. It is because of your dedication that UNT continues to shine.
Dear Faculty and Staff,
With students back on campus, we are in a unique position to guide them to work toward success. Students see faculty as the most trusted academic achievement resource they have, partnering with them in this process. Today I want to provide you with a few ways to make a difference for student progress this semester.
Greetings Colleagues,
Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed a restorative summer break and found time to rest, pursue your passions, and spend time with family and friends.
Dear UNT Faculty,
As many of you know, this spring, Faculty Success engaged multiple stakeholders across the university in discussions regarding renaming UNT’s non-tenure track faculty.
Vice Provost Holly Hutchins also sought feedback from the Non-Tenure Track Faculty Resource Group, Faculty Senate and examined data from UNT’s recent COACHE climate survey, with the goal of finding a term that defines these crucial members of our faculty by what they are, rather than what they are not.
Dear Faculty and Staff,
Please join me in welcoming Paul S. Krueger as the new dean of UNT’s College of Engineering. He will begin his appointment June 1.
Dr. Krueger will oversee the college’s innovative curriculum, expansive research enterprise, thriving local and global partnerships, and interdisciplinary labs and initiatives. The College of Engineering is home to world-class faculty and staff and boasts some of UNT’s fastest growing programs, and I am excited to see it continue to thrive under his leadership.
Dear Faculty and Staff,
I am delighted to share that, after a thorough search process that included open forums with candidates from across the nation, Lisa McIntyre has been selected as UNT’s new vice provost for student success. Her appointment begins June 5.
Dear Faculty and Staff,
I am pleased to share that John Quintanilla has been selected as the new dean of the College of Science. Dr. Quintanilla, who has served as interim dean since last June, will step into the role permanently, effective April 1.
Dear UNT Faculty and Staff,
It is my pleasure to announce that Albert Bimper has been selected as the new executive dean of UNT’s College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. He will join us July 1.
Dr. Bimper is an experienced administrator and dedicated scholar-educator — a combination that will make him a tremendous asset to our largest and most eclectic college, and to our university community. His deep knowledge of the academy and collaborative approach will lend themselves well to the diverse array of programs in CLASS.

Greetings Colleagues,
Welcome to a new year and a new semester! I hope the holiday time was both restful and restorative for you. The new semester is here, and it surely will be replete with both wonderful opportunities and vexing challenges. It is an exciting time at UNT and in higher education generally. It may be helpful if I share with you some of the discussions that we’ll be continuing in the coming months. I invite you to share with me and with your local leadership any thoughts you might have on any of these topics.
Dear UNT Faculty and Staff,
