Student Involvement

With more than 140 clubs and organizations, involvement in a club or organization instantly connects you to the life of the University. These student-run organizations offer a variety of athletic, cultural, educational, political, religious, and social experiences.

The Carolinian, the twice-weekly campus newspaper, is written and edited entirely by students. The student-operated radio station, WUAG-FM, on air daily, plays independent label rock and broadcasts campus news. Coraddi, the fine arts magazine, publishes poetry, fiction, photography, and visual art. And through Kaleidoscope, the video magazine, students learn about live action videotaping and editing.

Sixteen nationally chartered Greek organizations on campus provide options for an active social life, service to the community and personal development.

At UNCG, we take the safety of our students very seriously. Our police department meets the highest standards of law enforcement and crime prevention. Uniformed officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day, on foot, in automobiles and on bicycles. Students may take advantage of free services such as the Safety Escort Service which offers mobile escorts to all University parking areas and buildings during evening hours seven nights per week. Essential safety information is made available to students each year with the publication of a Campus Safety Guide.
