University of North Texas 
Student Activities
The department encourages current students to become involved in one or more student activities that reflect their interests. The department sponsors multiple groups, each with a different focus, to serve the needs of our students.
The UNT Debate Team has a long history at the University of North Texas, including
a National Debate Tournament (NDT) Championship in 1946. The team competes regionally
and nationally in 15 to 20 debate tournaments each year and participates actively
in the NDT and CEDA (Cross-Examination Debate Association).
The Performance Interest Group is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students
and faculty members interested in the study of performance in its many forms--literary,
theatrical, social, and cultural. Formerly known as North Texas Readers Theatre, the
group was originally founded by Dr. Ted Colson. The group meets several times each
semester for lectures, performances, and workshops through which members explore their
love of performance.
COMM Future Pros is a student-based pre-professional organization that caters
to undergraduate students who major or minor in Communication Studies. Founded in

employment opportunities in the rapidly expanding and changing communication oriented
job market.
The Department of Communication Studies sponsors the Mu Alpha Chapter of Lambda
Pi Eta, the national honor society for students dedicated to the study of Communication
Studies. Formed in 2001, Lambda Pi Eta is actively involved in service projects, efforts
to increase scholarly endeavors amongst students, and social activities aimed to foster
our collegial department community.
COGS is a student-run organization of current and former graduate students from
the Department of Communication Studies. In addition to hosting forums on issues significant
