The spring semester is well underway at UNC Greensboro, but most of us have spent the last couple of weeks attending classes remotely and completing coursework online due to inclement weather. With the campus returning to regular in-person instruction just in time for Valentine’s Day later this week, there are many opportunities coming up to socialize and reconnect with on-campus events and activities. 

Events listed here represent just a few of the things happening on campus over the next week. Use the Spartan Connect Events page to find other activities and events organized by University offices and student clubs.
