Diamond Eagle Student Resource Center Volunteers

Volunteering for the Diamond Eagle Student Resource Center is a great way to get connected with your fellow students and give back to the community. We have a variety of ways to volunteer, such as helping stock the Food Pantry, give out Graduation Regalia, and maintaining our campus gardens. Email desresources@unt.edu to get involved!
