Yesterday officially marked the last day for Dr. Harry Benshoff and Lesa Statler at UNT Media Arts. We are incredibly grateful for the many years of service that the two have put towards our program and its students.

Dr. Harry Benshoff has served students at UNT since 1999 and was department chair from 2022-2026. Many of his students will remember his media theory classes, including those about gender & sexuality in horror films.

Lesa has been with UNT since 2009 and has served as Media Arts’ administrative specialist. She handled scheduling of all courses, coordinating class times, and locations for every semester.

To Dr. Benshoff & Lesa, you will be missed and we can not thank you enough for your commitment to our students. Happy Retirement!

Take a look at some pictures from the past and a small party we held honoring Dr. Benshoff & Lesa.

🥇 Gold looks good on Mean Green! 💚

Seven #UNT students put their creativity, strategy and marketing skills to the test in a national competition and came home with 1st place! 👏

Their winning campaign is a great example of what happens when classroom learning meets real-world challenges. by @untclass

The stories don’t stop here. 🎓

Congratulations to the Mayborn School of Journalism Class of 2026! You are ready to inform, challenge, and inspire the world.

Last week, we gathered to celebrate the journalists, storytellers, and truth-seekers who walked across our stage. Each cap and gown represents years of curiosity, craft, and dedication, and a future full of bylines yet to be written.

The world needs voices like yours, voices that ask hard questions, amplify unheard stories, and hold power to account. Go tell them.

A heartfelt thank you to our faculty, families, and everyone who supported this extraordinary class along the way. 💚

Tag a graduate you’re celebrating in the comments!
