The New Student Welcome and Chancellor’s Cookout is a day dedicated to welcoming new undergraduate students to UNC Charlotte and learning what it means to be a 49er. All new first-year and transfer students are invited and encouraged to come join the fun!
During the event, you will learn about campus traditions, hear from University leadership and guest alumnus Ohavia Phillips, and enjoy a special performance by the Pride of Niner Nation Marching Band. After New Student Welcome, explore the Chancellor’s Cookout followed by Student Organization Showcase and RecFest right outside.
Join our clubs and organizations at the Student Orgs Showcase to learn about the many different ways to get involved! Enjoy snacks, performances and giveaways as you meet with 250 organizations at the largest student org recruitment event on campus!
Every August, University Recreation hosts RecFest. This event is designed to introduce students to the programs and services offered by the department, as well as offer an opportunity to meet campus partners, student organizations, and taste local cuisine! This is a must to kick-off the new school year. Come early and bring your valid UNC Charlotte ID!
