Senior advertising and brand strategy major Ethan Gillis is serving as the student regent on the UNT System Board of Regents for a one-year term through May 31, 2025.

Gillis will represent the interests of all students within the UNT System while attending and participating in UNT System Board of Regents business and meetings. A Golden Eagle Award winner, he was director of the Student Alumni Association and senator for the Student Government Association. Gillis, who grew up in Richardson, has Mean Green blood in his family -- his mother, Karen Gillis ('93), is an alum.

Gillis, who works as student recruitment and program coordinator for International Recruitment, aims to enhance student awareness of the UNT System. "I look to ensure that students across the UNT System feel seen, heard and valued," Gillis says. "My goal is to do everything in my power to make sure that the voices of these students find their way to the Board of Regents."
