Texas history was made in Summer 2016 when UNT Provost Finley Graves traveled to China to bestow degrees on four students. The four graduated with two degrees from two universities in two countries at the same time – one from the University of North Texas and the other from a university in China participating in the China Transfer Program. The graduates – Qi Liu, Jiajun Teng, Chen Peng and Binghuan Zhang – are the first students to be conferred UNT degrees in China.
