Community Service

Part of being a successful TAMS student means contributing meaningfully to the world around - your fellow students, the UNT community, the Denton community, your country, and your environment. Students are encouraged to stretch themselves in this area and seek to make the world a better place while they are engaged in their academic pursuits. In addition to engaging in such service, students are encouraged to internally reflect on how giving to others is changing themselves.
