Making a difference!

In 2012, UNCP was named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

 

The Honor Roll distinction recognized UNCP’s leadership to build a culture of service and civic responsibility through volunteerism and engaged citizenship.

UNCP STUDENTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Many students, just like you, have made huge strides in the fight against poverty, hunger, homelessness, racial injustices, domestic abuse, and much, much more. How? It's simple. They are active, dedicated citizens who refuse to sit back and watch injustices happen. They commit, get involved and make a difference.

Join Now and start making a difference at UNCP. Track your volunteer service hours and build a Service Transcript to record your volunteer service and civic development through the Office for Community & Civic Engagement.

People who serve others often become well respected community and business leaders.
