UNCG is getting ready to welcome incoming students to campus for the traditional SOAR events, with the first session beginning on Thursday, June 6. As these new Spartans and their families arrive on campus for orientation, they will be met with the ongoing chilled water improvements along some of the most heavily trafficked areas at UNCG.
Stirling Street was originally set to reopen this week. For several reasons, it will stay closed this week. While the construction is ongoing in this area, SOAR guests will only be able to access the Walker Parking Deck from Walker Avenue. The Office of New Student Transitions and First Year Experience are arranging for parking enforcement officers or other staff to be posted at the entrance gate to provide directions and try to speed up the process. However, it is likely that traffic congestion and backups will occur.
UNCG asks everyone to give themselves extra time and be mindful of the additional traffic, particularly between 7:30-9:00 a.m. on SOAR days. UNCG thanks everyone in advance for their patience and for adjusting to the changes while welcoming new students.
A schedule for this year’s SOAR sessions is available here. A breakdown of the chilled water construction phases can be read here.
