The mission of Leadership & Community Engagement (LCE) is to provide UNC Charlotte students with leadership skills and development opportunities through individual programs, retreats, and experiential learning. These students will develop lifelong leadership skills that can be utilized within diverse educational, social and business settings. The experiences students gain through academic-sponsored leadership programs and courses will influence the campus socially and culturally.
Being involved in a fraternity or sorority can help to build new skills that can be advantageous throughout life. These benefits can include leadership development, organizational skills, and the invaluable personal growth that comes from this involvement. Fraternity & Sorority Life provides opportunities to be involved in campus leadership positions, community service, planning of social functions, positions within the chapter, scholarship opportunities and irreplaceable friendships, all helping you to grow and succeed while at UNC Charlotte and throughout life.
The UNC Charlotte Student Union originally opened its doors in 2009 as the community center of the University. The union — renamed the Karen A. Popp and Demond T. Martin Student Union in 2016 to honor the dedication and service of two extradordinary alumni — serves students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors. It provides services and conveniences that members of the college community need in their daily lives and creates an environment for getting to know and understand others through formal and informal associations.
Bonnie E. Cone was a dedicated educator, motivator and community leader who played an instrumental role in the vision and history of UNC Charlotte. The Cone University Center enriches and supports the University community in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, providing services, training and facilities that support University programs and participation.
In support of students who serve the campus community with forums for free exchange of ideas and dissemination of news and information, Student Niner Media Advising and Support provides personal and career development in an environment that encourages creative expression.
