Inaugural Celebration

After the inaugural ceremony, the UNT Health Science Center “family” celebrated at the “World of Pasta-bilities” Campus Celebration. An estimated 850 employees, students, their family members and DO Dash runners
attended the party.

The celebration also served as a “carb-loading” dinner for participants of the annual DO Dash. Blue Mesa, a Metroplex favorite, catered the pasta and about 500 pounds of chicken!	The silent auction raised $2,260 for the DO Dash. Auction items included handmade jewelry and gift certificates.
Live music was provided by the Moo-Town Rockers… a band made up of Fort Worth City administrators.	The weather was perfect for the on-campus event at the UNT Health Science Center’s Alumni Plaza.
UNTHSC international students from India presented Dr. Ransom with a “Pagadi.” The headdress is a sign of respect, appreciation and admiration. Students from India make up about 80 percent of the Health Science Center’s international students.
