The UNC System is working closely with leaders at Appalachian State University, University of North Carolina Asheville and Western Carolina University, as well as the North Carolina Arboretum and the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics-Morganton, to provide aid and support in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Support for campuses in the western part of the state has poured in from across the UNC System, with additional staff and supplies being deployed to affected institutions. The affected universities are collecting funds to aid students, faculty, and staff directly impacted by the storm, and they’ll be working with local agencies to coordinate volunteer opportunities and serve the wider region.
UNC Greensboro Chancellor Gilliam wrote a message to campus about the University’s efforts.
