A GUIDE FOR PARENTS AND FAMILIES
Welcome to the
Spartan Family! Vice Chancellor’s Welcome I am delighted to welcome you to UNCG. I believe you’ll find UNCG to be an outstanding academic community within an exceptionally beautiful and vibrant campus. We are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive university that promotes student success, provides access to a variety of opportunities, fosters a passion for discovery, and prepares students to pursue meaningful and successful lives. We have prepared this Spartan Family Guide to give you information about academic and campus life at UNCG. The University is an exciting and supportive place, which offers its students intellectual challenges, encouragement in their personal and social interests, and the opportunity to develop new leadership skills through a variety of campus organizations and activities.
At UNCG, student success is our number one priority. Here, learning often takes place in small settings inside and outside the classroom. The University’s nationally respected faculty members are enthusiastic mentors who work closely with students in support of their goals. As UNCG’s impressive research and service enterprise continues to expand, professors regularly invite undergraduates to work alongside them in the lab and in our communities. I encourage your student to take advantage of these and other special academic experiences such as the honors program, study abroad, and internships. Students often tell us that the opportunities to get involved here are far greater than at many other colleges and universities. As students develop individual talents and interests, there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy athletics, leadership roles, social organizations, arts and events, outdoor adventures, and much
more. Experienced and well-qualified professionals are available to help guide your student by offering information, counsel, and support. Throughout your student’s time here, remember that we are here for you and support an inspiring environment committed to your student’s success. Regardless of how your student wants to make an impact, both at UNCG and in the world beyond college, let us know how we can jointly support your student’s endeavors.
Best wishes,
Dr. Cherry Callahan Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
