FRANKLIN D. GILLIAM, JR.
CHANCELLOR
As I begin my tenth year at UNCG, I am reminded that every academic year opens with opportunities.
On the way to Convocation in the G Whip (the students’ name for my golf cart), I picked up a first-year student rushing to Fleming Gym. Sensing her excitement and nervousness, I reassured her and the over 1,700 new students that UNCG is a place of opportunity: to discover themselves, access new experiences, and find faculty and staff dedicated to their success.
Here, you’ll read about some of the possibilities available to our students. Thanks to a $5 million grant from the Mellon Foundation, UNCG is developing “Humanities at Work” to provide hundreds of humanities students with support for paid internships. We’re one of just five locations nationwide honored with this investment, one of the largest gifts in our history.
New, cutting-edge academic programs are coming online across campus designed to meet student demand as well as current market and community needs. Our focus remains on preparing our students to be career and life ready upon graduation.
The nexus of innovative offerings and collaborative partnerships is taking shape as the University leans into our next strategic plan. In short, it’s our emerging blueprint to improve how we deliver access to excellence in education. Done well, it will ensure more students, families, and communities experience the life-changing impact of a UNCG degree.
We’re proud to live the values of our legacy and our mission. By rising to meet fast-changing needs, UNCG is making sure the next generation will fulfill its greatest potential.
