The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many things for the UNC Charlotte community. Living rooms have been transformed into classrooms, students and professors are interacting through computer screens and campus events are being held virtually. What hasn’t changed is UNC Charlotte’s care for and commitment to 49er students and alumni.
As a way of moving from being reactive to more supportive, the University recently launched NinerNationCares.uncc.edu, an online portal to make navigating these uncertain times a little easier for students.
The centralized information hub contains financial resources, academic support, food and housing programs, health and wellness initiatives, as well as other support services available to students and alumni.
Alumni Affairs also created a site with centralized resources for alumni. Similar to NinerNationCares, there are career services, a Niner Business Network of alumni-owned businesses and a virtual alumni book club to stay connected to other 49er alumni.
