Update on the Alumni Chapter Program

Since 2022, the Alumni Chapter Program aimed to build alumni-led groups in key regions to help plan and host events with support from the Office of Alumni Engagement. While we™re grateful for the dedication of our Charlotte and Triad chapter volunteers, the program is being dissolved as we shift to new models of engagement.

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ remains committed to offering alumni events in both the Charlotte and Triad areas and will continue to support alumni who want to bring Bears together in their communities. 

If you are interested in hosting an event for Bears in your communities, we™d love to help.
