So many students describe UNCG as “just the right size.” Academic, social, leadership and service opportunities far exceed those available at small colleges, yet a close-knit campus community allows for personal attention from faculty and mean-ingful exchanges with classmates. Our dynamic student body (17,000 and growing) hails from 50 states and more than 90 countries. Students find our 210-acre campus an ideal learning environ-ment, with tree-lined walkways and easy access to everything you need to enjoy your college experience – from on-campus dining and residential programs to the shopping and nightlife of downtown Greensboro. As you develop individual talents and interests, you can get connected to more than 180 clubs and organizations, including a rich array of arts events, outdoor adven-tures, living and learning communities, Greek life, intramural, club and Division I athletics and more.

“This is a real project to help people and learn at the same time, with direct benefit to the community.” Amber Snipes. Interior

Architecture major. Accomplished

Urban Studio designer.

Our motto is “service”. What’s yours? UNCG offers so many opportunities to get involved, there’s a niche for everyone. Whether your motto includes athletics, the arts or student government, you’ll be exposed to a vibrant cam-pus life – and encouraged to use your classroom knowledge to improve the world around you. Students in UNCG’s Interior Architecture program had such an oppor-tunity when they renovated a home owned by a local couple who couldn’t afford major repairs required to keep it in livable condition. With a short timeframe and a modest budget, the team of 20 students embarked on a semester-long project called the Urban Studio, which included demolition of the existing structure and devel-opment and construction of a completely new, 1000-square-foot home. While it exemplifies the university’s motto of “service,” the Urban Studio also embodies UNCG’s relationship with the surrounding community. A partnership with the City of Greensboro led to federal funding for the project, and numerous local businesses provided additional financial support for the couple’s new home.

Interested in graduate school, law school, or medical school? We’ll help you get there. Just ask Cameron Wynn, a UNCG graduate who’s headed to medical school at UNC Chapel Hill. Like many students, Cameron was undecided on a major when he started college. He tried a couple of majors before finding that African American Studies was the right fit. “I saw the opportunity to learn about my people’s history and culture and our American story,” he says. “It was something I was interested in outside of science.” Cameron’s interests have also taken him to Spain and Botswana through UNCG’s extensive study abroad program. He returned to Botswana after graduation to work on an HIV/AIDS project before starting medical school. “I want to become a doctor because I see the challenges of diagnosis and treatment as something that will hold my interest,” he says. “I want to be the problem solver in bringing the patient to better health.” Cameron credits UNCG with giving him the support he needed to reach his goals and says the university is serious about putting students first. “I’ve worked on campus. I’ve studied abroad. I’ve had great mentors,” he says. “All of my expectations have been fulfilled.”

“UNCG has so many resources – the career center, writing center, supplemental instruction programs. If you want to go to a school that’s interested in your well-being…then it’s the place to be.” Cameron Wynn ’09

With more than 500 international students, UNCG offers a global learning experience without even leaving campus. Every week, the International Students Association hosts Friday Fest at Phillips-Hawkins Hall featuring music, food and culture from different countries. And every spring for more than 25 years, the cam-pus and Greensboro community anticipate the artwork, performances, traditional attire and cuisine of the immensely popular International Festival. These and many more activities repre-senting the diverse backgrounds and interests of our students make UNCG a place to meet people from all corners of the world.

Campus Recreation

Like to play but don’t want the pressure? Looking for a new challenge? Love the outdoors? You might be surprised at some of the ways students stay active at UNCG. Ultimate Frisbee and rugby for men and women, an equestrian club, swimming, and lacrosse are just a few of the club sports at UNCG. Intramurals include basketball, flag football, indoor and out-door soccer, sand volleyball, and softball. Plus a state-of-the-art recreation center, a 40-acre field campus, and THE EDGE, our 38-foot indoor climbing wall, offer a variety of ways to stay fit and have fun. If you’re looking for an outdoor challenge, Outdoor Adventures schedules trips and events such as hiking, biking, kayaking, backpacking, climbing, and caving as close as the NC mountains and coast, or as far away as Utah and Peru!

“Living in Strong College has allowed me to find my own little niche and comfort zone within the greater body of UNCG students. Most Strong College residents are open-minded, with a love for discussion and action of all sorts. You can hear students discussing politics or environmentalism or literature or fashion or music — everyone in the building brings his or her own spark of curiosity and passion.” Margaret Carpenter

Real-Life Learning Experiences

“Being able to apply what I have learned with real clients and fellow students and faculty has instilled confidence

in me about my future.” Lisa Giovanelli

As students in Dr. Lew Brown’s advanced marketing course wrap up their senior year, they have an impressive title to add to their resumes – marketing consultant. Each year, Dr. Brown assigns teams of students to local businesses and organizations who ask for help. Anita Daswani’s group worked with Ganache Restaurant and Bakery. Locals are familiar with the bakery side of the business, so the group focused on what they could do to promote the restaurant. “You learn so much more when it’s the real deal, as opposed to something out of a book,” Anita says. “This is really happening, and you take your work more seriously when you know that.” Anita’s team researched the competition, met with the owners and a faculty mentor, and developed marketing proposals for Ganache. The four marketing majors met several times a week, each bringing their own strengths – and opinions – to the table. Group member Brian Williams says the entire team was dedicated to success, and the hard work paid off. “This project opened my eyes and let me know this is the kind of work that I really want to do in the future,” he says. Charlton Lindler, who hopes to open his own restaurant one day, says hands-on learn-ing projects are important for every major. “Working with Ganache has taught me that there is a lot more involved in owning a restaurant than most people realize,” he says. “This is real-life experience.” 9

Make friends in high places. With numerous national companies calling North Carolina home, our location makes it easy for students to gain valuable work experience through internships and other field experiences. While many students complete internships during the summer, others pursue opportunities that allow them to work during the academic year while earning credit applicable toward a UNCG degree. The Disney World College program is one such experience: Students participate in semester-long college courses while working (for pay) in various areas of the renowned theme park, including food & beverage, merchandising, ticketing or front desk operations at Disney resorts. No matter their focus, participants gain skills applicable to any major or career and enjoy behind-the-scenes access to one of the most successful companies in the world.

Alumni Profile

When Emily Byrd was working toward her art degree at UNCG, she had no idea that she would be doing weather forecasts for the local Fox affiliate one day. But there were signs that meteorology was in her future.

“I was the only art major with physics and chemistry as my electives,” she laughs. “It was a very odd mix.” Although Emily went on to get a second degree in meteorology from NC State, she relies upon the design principles she learned at UNCG to make graphics for her forecasts, and she says her art classes provided the supportive, open environment that she needed for personal growth. “This was the place where I felt like I could express anything,” she says. “I think that’s a really empowering way to start your adult life because when you’re in college, you’re still figuring out who you are.” Today, Emily enjoys meeting UNCG students at community events such as Relay For Life, a fundrais-er for the American Cancer Society. “They’re doing something for somebody they’ll never see and never know because it’s the right thing to do, and that’s UNCG. That’s what I remember from my days here.”
