#HFNT 9: UNT 101

Happy Friday, North Texas!

Happy Friday, friends! This episode, we’ve got an interview about an innovative approach to tackling pandemic era learning loss, a roundtable discussion with some of our Eagle Ambassadors about how to live your best life in Denton and the next installment in our ongoing Democracy Primer series, this time about the differences between the House and the Senate.

In this episode:

• As students continue to feel the effects of the pandemic, a new way of learning is hoping to get UNT students back on track with math. The classes, called MATH 340 and MATH 350, are meant for students who did not pass the math portion of the Texas Success Initiative. Anthony Hufford, a master teacher for Teach North Texas who taught the classes last year, shares what makes these classes so different. (1:35-22:24) Learn more about the math program.
• We sat down with three of our Eagle Ambassadors – verified UNT aficianados – to get the inside scoop on campus life, covering everything from their favorite pieces of UNT trivia to the best places to sneak a nap on campus. (22:25-40:23) Meet our Eagle Ambassadors or Schedule a Tour.
• For the third installment of our Democracy Primer series, we talked to political science principal lecturer Eddie Meaders to learn more about some of the key differences between the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. (40:24-1:10:37)
• Q&A: The hosts discuss their fondest memories as students at UNT. Share your favorite UNT memories by emailing us at [email protected] or calling 443-684-2779. (1:10:38-1:16:48)
