Light the Night is the annual event to mark World Suicide Awareness Day at UNC Greensboro. Light the Night 2025 will be held on September 10th. on College Ave. Luminary decorating will be available 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. The luminaries will be lit at 8 p.m., and our Vigil will be held at 9 p.m.

Resources including the Wesley-Luther Staff, Counseling and Psychological Services, and the Dean of Students Office are here to help if you are in need.

Each September hundreds of Spartans gather to mark World Suicide Awareness Day at the annual Light the Night Vigil. Suicide has touched the lives of too many Spartans, and it is important to gather and remind ourselves and each other that each of our matters and each of us is seen and valued. Students and Staff decorate white bag with stories, prayers, memories, art, and words of hope. As the sun sets and darkness falls we light candles inside the white bag luminaries to shine those words and art, and share a reflection and moment of silence together as a Spartan community.
