THANK YOU

The Spartan community came together to make history with Light the Way: The Campaign for Earned Achievement, which concluded on Dec. 31, 2025. Thanks to your generosity, UNCG is poised for a brighter future. Stay tuned for exciting details on the campaign’s success and transformative impact this spring.

Light the way: The Campaign for Earned Achievement

UNC Greensboro welcomes learners with promise and drive – and opens the door, opens their minds, and helps them achieve more than they thought possible. Students thrive here, at the University of history and substance, or world-changing research and scholarship.

Together, we are strengthening student access, academic excellence, and the tremendous impact of our programs.
