Spartans are preparing a warm welcome for the Bulldogs.

In support of a sister institution with the UNC System, UNC Greensboro will temporarily host student-athletes from UNC Asheville baseball team while their university repairs the extensive damage left by Hurricane Helene in September.

These students, with their coaches and additional training staff, will begin arriving at UNCG on October 14 and are expected to stay until the end of the month. Their departure may change depending on the situation at UNCA.

The students will be housed in Phillips/Hawkins Residence Hall, and they will have access to the Kaplan Center, the Jackson Library, and all other wellness and practice facilities. They will receive temporary student IDs to ensure easy access to all the facilities they need for continuing their academic and athletic progress.

UNCG welcomes all students, staff, and faculty from Asheville and hopes to do everything possible to ease some of their stress during this difficult time.

In addition to providing assistance to the UNCA baseball team, UNCG is continuing to fulfill Hurricane Helene Assistance Requests placed by the UNC System and the North Carolina Emergency Operations Center.

Currently, UNCG Police Officers are deployed to UNCA to assist with ongoing safety and security challenges and support local law enforcement efforts.

Also, UNCG Counseling and Psychological Services is currently providing a multitude of support to all students, faculty, and staff who have been affected by this event.
