Spirit and traditions
Green & White
One of the earliest official
references to UNT’s school
colors of green and white
appears in the 1907 Yucca
yearbook, although a former
student recalled that they
were selected in 1902-03
when someone suggested
Mother Nature would be
kind to those using her
colors. Today, green is a way
of life at UNT, where their
sustainability programs and
environmental research
have brought them national
recognition.
Eagle Claw
Mean Green
Nickname
The Eagle hand sign is UNT’s
universal sign of pride and unity.
To display your pride:
UNT’s unique Mean Green
nickname originated in
the 1960s as fans cheered
on the football team and
its punishing defense.
The earliest newspaper
references to the Mean Green
appeared in the spring of
1967. One of the original
Mean Green players went on
to a Hall of Fame career in
the NFL with a nickname of
his own, “Mean” Joe Greene.
The dominating lineman
became the cornerstone
of the Pittsburgh Steelers’
“Steel Curtain” defense
and a four-time Super Bowl
champion. Today, all of UNT’s
athletics teams are known as
the Mean Green.
1 Hold up your hand.
2 Make a “V” for Victory using
your pointer and middle fingers.
3 Extend your thumb and curl
your fingers slightly toward your
palm.
We Mean Green!
Alumni
UNT has a vast alumni network with more than
137,000 of them living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Dr. Phil
Actors: Peter Weller and Thomas Haden Church

Lighting of
McConnell Tower
Scrappy, the Eagle Mascot
The student body chose the Eagle as their mascot in 1922 for its
keen eye, strength, independence and loyalty. In 1950, students
named the first live bird mascot “Scrappy,” which later became
the name of the human mascot. The Eagle was known by other
names through the years, including “Eppy” in the 1980s. But in
1995, the modern-day Scrappy returned to the nest as the Mean
Green’s biggest fan.
14
‘Lucky’, the
Albino Squirrel
Campus legend says the
rare, furry white animal is a
good luck charm of mythical
proportion.
Green lights, first installed
by the Talons in the 1970s,
shine on McConnell Tower
after athletic victories and for
special occasions. After evening
home football victories, the
Talons lead the march from
Apogee Stadium to the Hurley
Administration Building where
they turn on the tower’s green
lights to signal the win to the
campus and community. LED
lights installed in 2014 make
UNT’s green light shine bright.

Practical
Training (OPT)
ONCAMPUS Texas provides
the support and guidance
to help you explore different
fields of study and career
paths. While you are free
to choose the area of study
you wish to focus on (this
is referred to in the U.S. as
your “major”), you will also
be required to complete a
number of general education
courses which will help you
learn how to think critically,
research properly, and
communicate effectively. At
most U.S. schools you can
complete up to two years
of study before you need to
declare your major.
OPT enables you to work in the
U.S. and gain valuable work
experience before returning
home. For international
students who graduate from
a STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics)
related program, OPT is a
36-month program.
