Student Perspective

Light the Night Vigil

UNCG students showed their support for classmates dealing with mental health issues on Tuesday by constructing luminaries for the “Light the Night” vigil, held on the lawn in front of the Elliott University Center. The luminaries, on which students wrote messages such as “You are loved for who you are,” were lit at sundown.


Mental Health Awareness Month

The Department of Recreation & Wellness kicked off Mental Health Month 2017 at UNCG with Yoga on the Lawn and Spartan Scents Aromatherapy, two events designed to get students thinking about how they handle the stresses of being in school.


Meet the new Graduate Assistant for Facilities & Special Events

The number of visitors to the Kaplan Center during our first year of operation easily surpassed the busiest year ever experienced when the Student Recreation Center was still open. Managing the programs and staff that make this place so great takes a dedicated team. Corrine Pruett is our newest addition to that team.
