About

NT40 was founded in 1974 by President Nolen as a group of prominent students who held levels of organizational leadership and whose focus was based on philanthropic efforts, pride, and tradition. Members soon became highly recommended for their reputation of upholding spirit, traditions, commitment to UNT, involvement around campus, and of course academic achievement in the classroom.

Today the members of NT40 are known as the "Top 40 Leaders" on campus because of their high levels of involvement in student organizations and off-campus organizations. The NT40 hosts a variety of leadership development workshops and events multiple times a semester, which serves as an outreach effort with other upcoming campus leaders. NT40 co-hosts All for North Texas; North Texas for All (AFNT/NTFA) Leadership Conference with the Center for Leadership and Service, shows support to departments like UNT Athletics by attending home games, and collaborates with other offices in Student Affairs to promote student engagement and success. Members also keeps up with their own curriculum of professional training exercises at each general body meeting.
