Need to See: McConnell Tower

The McConnell Tower, located at the top of Hurley Administration Building, serves as a symbol of victory for Eagle football. Every time the football team wins a home game, this tower is lit up green in support of the team. Since this building is in the center of campus, the power it holds is that everyone on campus is able to see it in some way. The lighting of this tower shows the power of unity and triumph within the university, the students and the faculty. The tower was named after the late dean of the university, W. Joseph McConnell.

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Something every Eunt student should see while they're here is the McConnell Tower, which is also known as the Hurley administration building. There's a U NT victory, and it's super cool. I could try to put a picture right here, but something that every person at UT knows about. So here's a front view of the Hurley I've been building. One fun fact about this is when the tower lights up. No matter where you are in campus, you can see it at some point, which is so awesome it really unites the whole U NT family together when there's a sports victory. One thing I wanted to quickly add, that's really important here. There's the University of North Texas I. Anytime someone comes a tour visit here, they always take really keep pictures in front of this. So maybe that's something that you want to do when you get here, too.
