Student-Athlete Impact Every student-athlete at UNT (over 460) will experience the Jones Leadership Academy curriculum through the Elevate program. Through the pillars of personal development, professional advance- ment, community engagement and leadership enhancement, the Elevate Student-Athlete Develop- ment program is designed to educate, equip and empower the total-person development of Mean Green student-athletes in preparation for success at the University of North Texas and beyond. The leadership curriculum will be adapted for the program and strategically integrated in various sessions of Elevate, most specifically intertwined in the leadership enhancement support. These programs will take place in and through the Student-Athlete Development Center in the new Athletic Center Expansion and will reach all student-athletes through a variety of integrated lessons, seminars and experiences. Ryan College of Business Impact The Jones Academy’s curriculum will benefit students in the Ryan College of Business (over 9,500) by integrating the lessons developed for existing required career curriculum. This will continue to strengthen the awareness of the Wilson Jones Career Center and equip staff and faculty with signature curricula to use to engage and prepare students for their professional journeys. To become a Wilson & Jane Jones Scholar, first-generation students can be nominated by a staff or faculty member, or they can submit an application themselves. As a designated scholar, students will receive significant financial support through an impactful endowed scholarship fund, thus providing them the opportunity to complete their college education. 460+ 9,500+ 100s STUDENT RYAN COLLEGE OF FIRST-GEN ATHLETES BUSINESS STUDENTS STUDENTS
