UNCG’s Master of Higher Education program

“I’ve enjoyed having my CRL as an instructor. It’s better than having a regular teacher. The fact that I can go downstairs and have a regular or serious conversation makes the relationship easier and less intimidating for the student.”

-DARYNE JENKINS

Volunteer opportunities are numerous, particularly popular with our staff is the Guilford County Animal Shelter.

Birthplace of Civil Rights MovementGreensboro has a rich and diverse history and is most famous for being the starting point of the sit-in movement often regarded as the start of the civil rights movement. Today, the original site of the sit-ins is preserved as the Smithsonian’s International Civil Rights Museum.

Enterprising Facility Goals

...opportunities

Since 2011, UNCG Housing and Residence Life has opened 5 new residence halls and renovated 9 existing halls with plans for more renovations and new construction through 2019. Residence Life and Housing Facilities staff have an intensive and unique experience collaborating through the design, construction and opening phases of these projects. Coordinators for Residence Life have gained knowledge of facility management and have collaborated throughout the entire process to help ensure the success and quality of our housing communities.

“When I learned that I would be part

of the team the re-opened Grogan

Residence Hall in the fall of 2015,

I had no idea what an incredible

experience it would be. Re-opening

a newly renovated residence hall

allowed me to work closely with our

outstanding facilities staff as well as

faculty in Grogan Residential College

to provide a welcoming, comfortable

and co-curricular community for

students. The experience was truly

rewarding. I am grateful for the

opportunity to grow as a professional,

and member of UNCG’s Housing and

Residence Life team.” MAGGIE GILLESPIE, CRL GROGAN HALL
