Transcript

Okay, everyone I’d like to introduce Caleb Banks. He’s a junior economics major and part of the Marshall Eagles, which is a living learning community of young men who share interests in pursuing academic success. Caleb is gonna share his experience about UNT’s unique and diverse culture. Caleb, It is all yours.

– Thanks Alex, what’s up guys? I came to UNT because it’s close from home, but not too close. The campus was beautiful and they offered me an amazing scholarship package. I knew I wanted to get involved in a student organization, but I wasn’t sure why. A friend of mine was in the Marshall Eagles which is a program designed to help first year of black men get acclimated to campus both academically and socially, by placing you in a dorm with others who come from different backgrounds and experiences. And after that first meetup, I felt like this was the group for me. It was a sense of brotherhood and family amongst us Marshal Eagles. All of us working together, living together and supporting each other. The Marshall Eagle, living-learning community became my home. UNT is both a minority serving and Hispanic serving institution where you can truly shape your experience. No matter your race, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. In addition to serving more than 2,700 international students from 138 countries, we have resources like the Multicultural Center and the Pride Alliance. We pride of ourselves on being an inclusive caring campus with a diverse student population that allows for you to find your family just like I did. If you’re looking for a university that supports its students and strives to create a more diverse and inclusive atmosphere, then UNT is the place for you. Back to you, Alex.
