SRI Mission Statement
The office for Strategic Retention Initiatives (SRI) promotes academic excellence
and campus engagement among students at the University of North Texas. Through intensive,
targeted programming this office encourages students to participate in curricular
and co-curricular activities designed to help them graduate and prepare for successful
lives after UNT.
Our office offers three primary programs to help students at and after UNT:
The UNT Motivated Alliance for a Rigorous, Transformative and Interdisciplinary Approach
to Learning (MARTIAL) is a living learning community of incoming freshmen who share
an interest in pursuing academic success while at the University of North Texas.
The MARTIAL Eagle program is designed to assist students with building a strong academic
foundation from which to launch into various leadership opportunities while at UNT.
Summer Scholars is a program for returning UNT students who are committed to improving
their academic foundation here at UNT. Students will participate in our virtual program over
the 5-week 1 summer session and work with academic peer mentors as they participate
in weekly workshops.
