WELCOME MESSAGE
Welcome to the UNCG Sociology
Club website. This site was created to help perpetuate the club's
existence by acting as a constant
online presence in lieu of its inevitably changing leadership. The
website contains information about the
club's leadership, the club's latest
news, meeting minutes, event
photos, and recommended links. A link

the top of each page.
Key Concepts are presented
at the bottom of most pages, which include images and captions that
apply sociology to familiar aspects
of the world around us. For those in the Greensboro area, please consider
joining us for one
of our scheduled events. If you have a background
or interest in sociology, we extend an open invitation to you to be
our guest or a guest speaker. We will be honored to have you.
