Homecoming highlights

Bands. Beer. A parade. A re-dedication. A new king and queen. Basketball. Rugby. Jazz. Blue and gold everywhere. Homecoming was a grand celebration of all that's best about UNCG. Check out this slideshow of images from Nov. 2-3.

Cause for celebration

All around the globe, UNCG alumni are making a difference. And UNCG would like to celebrate them. Every year, the Alumni Association recognizes outstanding alumni with two kinds of awards: the Alumni Distinguished Service Award and the Young Alumni Award. If you know someone who deserves to be honored, submit a nomination before Jan. 5. Read more about the criteria for each award and how you can submit a nomination.

Don't mention salary!

“Whoever mentions salary first loses!” That's been the advice of salary negotiation experts for years. It's true. What happens if you jump in first? You could lose out on thousands of dollars. Read more from Kathleen Martinek, former UNCG alumni career counselor.
