Winter Welcome

Join us for Winter Welcome from Monday, January 13 through Saturday, January 25, 2025! This series of events is designed to help new and returning Bears feel at home at UNC by fostering Belonging, Involvement, and Gathering. Connect with peers, explore campus opportunities, and get to know our vibrant community. Don't miss out on the excitement as we kick off the fall semester together!

The Winter Welcome schedule will be updated on a weekly basis, so check back for more information. Be sure to explore BearConnect, UNC’s first online student engagement platform and the hub for Registered Student Organizations (RSOs). BearConnect is your gateway to the campus involvement scene, providing tools for organization management, event planning, and general student involvement. Through BearConnect, students can register clubs, plan and promote events, and access a variety of free and open events, clubs, and news tailored to their interests.
