Anyone has the power to enact change. While on a recent jog, I spotted my neighbors Cristina and Frank doing just that – taking time out for their community by voluntarily cleaning up litter. Their kindness and charity is such a great reminder of all the good in the world!

What a great way to stand out from the crowd! By getting a certification from one of the field’s leading societies, you’re broadening your horizons and increasing your job marketability.
Looking for ways to beef up that resume? A new professional certifications program at #UNT will cover the cost of the first attempt of an industry certification test as part of efforts to increase student post-graduation #job marketability. Learn more: ow.ly/T4Un50Gh6fl
