This year, an uninvited participant showed up for A Week at the G, UNCG’s campuswide photo project September 23-27. Gathering clouds and intermittent rain plagued A Week at the G before Tropical Storm Helene arrived in earnest on Friday, prompting University officials to cancel classes and campus activities.
Although we were fortunate to weather the storm better than communities to our west, Helene’s impact was enough to prompt organizers to extend photo submissions through October 5, to include Homecoming festivities.
The G POV
Despite the weather, University Communications was pleased with the photography and video captured during A Week @ the G. Like years’ past, organizers asked department communicators to submit requests to photograph their areas of campus. In addition, students, faculty, and staff submitted photos each day to capture everyday moments and major campus events. Here’s a recap of some of the scenes from A Week at the G.
After a social media vote of favorite student and staff submitted photos, a clear winner rose to the top. Congratulations to Denise Archetto, Assistant Athletic Director for Stategic Communications, whose winning photo will appear on a billboard on Gate City Boulevard this month.
Thanks to all who participated, we are left with a collection of photographs and videos that feature the beauty of our campus and celebrate the vibrancy of student life here. Each photo illustrates a different perspective. Here are some of our favorites:
