The UNT Male Alliance for a Rigorous, Transformative and Interdisciplinary Approach to Learning (MARTIAL) is a small community of young men who share an interest in the historical and cultural experiences of African American males in the United States.  Students also choose to work towards academic excellence in their chosen fields of study while living, learning, and leading together in Rawlins Hall.  

The MARTIAL Eagles with their mentors, Harold Woodard and Candi Harris.

LIVE TOGETHER. 

Build a tightly knit, scholarly community in Rawlins Hall, one of UNT’s newest and most popular residence halls.
