Gear up in your blue and gold, and get ready to show off that Spartan spirit.
It’s Homecoming week.
UNC Greensboro’s annual Homecoming celebration kicks off this Wednesday and runs through Sunday, with the festivities culminating on Saturday at the annual Homecoming Block Party at Kaplan Commons.
UNCG alumni, students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to join in on the celebration and attend the many events the University will be hosting throughout the week.
