The University Program Council (UPC) is UNT's student-run programming board that is devoted to planning and implementing events for students that are educational, social, cultural and entertaining. UPC events range from movie screenings to the latest hot topics and even trips to off campus venues. UPC is unique in that it is a department and a student organization. With an executive board of student programmers, UPC strives to plan events that meet the needs of UNT students. To find out what events we have planned, check out our calendar!

Join the BLOB

Here at UPC, we are always seeking committed volunteers to help assist with our programs. Within our organization, we have our own volunteer board known as the BLOB. The BLOB represents a group of diverse volunteers within UPC who help promote and build the brand of the organization while developing skills in leadership, service, teamwork, communication and self-improvement.

Within the volunteer board, we have different committees that were established in order to fit the different interests of our volunteers such as marketing, films, membership, hot topics, etc. Not only will the BLOB allow you first hand access to the exclusive programs that UPC puts on, but a volunteer will also have the chance to have tons of fun, make new friends, gain volunteer hours, and even allow you the potential to become a leader around your UNT campus.

Any UNT student can sign up to become a member of the BLOB. To sign up, please stop by the UPC office in the University Union Rm. 216-O and grab a volunteer form from the front desk receptionist or come to one of our BLOB meetings which are held every Tuesday at 5 p.m. on the 4th floor of the University Union.

Co-Sponsorships

Thank you for interest in co-sponsoring an event with the University Program Council (UPC). We value opportunities to program diverse events to benefit the University of North Texas community and collaborating with other organizations helps us accomplish this goal.

Because UPC plans events a semester in advance, we highly recommend that you submit your Co-Sponsorship proposal as early as possible. For example if you’re interested in a date that is during the spring semester, it is best to have your form turn in by late October of the previous semester.

If you are looking strictly for funding for your event, and you are a student organization, please consider requesting funds from Eagle Nest sponsored by SGA Funding Request Committee. More information can be found here: http://www.untsga.com/page.php?page_id=19039

Ways in which UPC can assist your organization/department:

• Volunteers for the day of event
• If there are any bookings to be done for artists we will arrange them or help your group arrange them
• Provide guidance on the programming process as a whole
• Advertising assistance for events
• Assistance in obtaining facilities
• Possible, but in no cases exclusive, funding for the event
