University 101 Class Leaders Fall 2024

The University 101 Class Leaders program is a scholarship and leadership opportunity. Class Leaders are key to boosting freshman student success and growth by promoting commitment to the mastery of course material and by providing academic and social support to students. Class Leaders are selected from a competitive pool of former University 101 students. They attend a University 101 class throughout the semester, plan functions and help freshman students with their transition to UNC.
