Have Your Say

The UNC system wants to hear from you. What are the most important challenges facing your community and how can the university campuses help? What programs and services should the university offer? What knowledge and skills do our students need to be prepared for the jobs of tomorrow?

A new commission, The University of North Carolina Tomorrow, has set out to determine the ways in which UNC's 16 campuses can best serve our state. To do that, the UNC Tomorrow group is visiting communities across North Carolina to hear your opinions on what our university system can and should be doing.

Community Listening Forums will be held in the following locations:

• Sept. 12 — Wilmington, 9 a.m., UNCW, Warwick Center Ballroom
• Sept. 12 — Fayetteville, 4 p.m., FSU, Seabrook Auditorium
• Sept. 20 — Elizabeth City, 4 p.m., ECSU, KE White Graduate Center
• Oct. 3 — Charlotte, 9 a.m., Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, Room 267
• Oct. 3 — Hickory, 4 p.m., Metro Convention Center
• Oct. 4 — Asheville, 9 a.m., UNCA, Highsmith Union — Alumni Hall
• Oct. 4 — Sylva, 4 p.m., Southwestern Community College — Myers Auditorium
• Oct. 8 — Greensboro, 4 p.m., Gateway University Research Park Gymnasium, Millennium Campus
• Oct. 10 — Raleigh, 4 p.m., NCSU, McKimmon Center, Room 2C

Each session will last three hours; however, you are welcome to attend part or all of any session. If you can't make it to any of the forums, you can also give your opinions in an anonymous survey at www.surveymonkey.com/nctomorrow.
