Good Afternoon!

I hope everyone had a relaxing winter break and also a relaxing first week of classes so far!  We have a few updates to begin the UHP semester off with!

  • Black & White Affair: The Honors College is having a Black & White Affair this year at the Uptown campus on Saturday, April 6th!  We need an EVENTS COMMITTEE to help plan what food to have, what music to dance to and what activities should be at this event!  Please email David Jordan at djorda33@uncc.edu if you are interested!


That's all I have for this week, but please feel free to email any of the other officers or I about anything!
