Celebrating 125 Years of Opportunity & Excellence
For 125 years, this institution has transformed lives and communities through opportunity and excellence. Join us as we celebrate UNCG’s pioneers, trailblazers, and innovators — and look forward to the giant steps of the future.
Opportunity & Excellence
We’ve been opening doors and achieving excellence since 1892. Here are highlights of the first graduating class, faculty and alumni award winners, and many historic moments in between.
Academics
UNCG offers outstanding programs led by exceptional faculty who challenge students to think in new ways and apply their knowledge in the real world. But don’t just take our word for it.
Research
As a “higher research activity” university, we take pride in asking big questions and searching for answers. Here are just a few examples of the faculty and students who make it happen.
Service & Activism
Although our name has changed over the years, our dedication to service has not. Spartans take pride in helping the community and pushing to make an impact locally, nationally, and globally.
Symbols & Traditions
From McIver and Minerva to the Rawk and the Clock, you can find your favorites in this collection of campus symbols and traditions.
