Habitat For Humanity

Want a great way to meet other graduate students

and help out your community?

Come with us this Saturday. I am sure you have great plans for the evening of Halloween, but what about using the morning to give back? We will be helping Campus Ministries work on two Habitat houses. They are both on the same  block close by here in Charlotte.

Wear your UNCC or Graduate School gear and show your Niner pride. Both houses are close to completeion so work will take place rain or shine! What a great way to have a great time and leaving feeling great about yourself! If you would like to join the growing list of participants for this event please email me @ lahildre@uncc.edu You can also leave a message here on the blog and I will get back to you.

Can't wait to see eveyone on Saturday!

Thanks to everyone who came out to play some dodge ball!

Registration open for next semester!

Can't believe the semester has gone so fast that it is already time to register for courses next semester. In my view, it is good idea to start looking at the courses one would be interested, and discuss early with your advisor. So much it looks simple thing to do, I still remember one semester when I forgot to register for one class, and was on verge of losing my assistanship. Some dept. even has an advising form to be completed. And I have seen people not getting the course they want because it is already full! So it is indeed good idea to get started!

It was a blast!

Many thanks to those who came out for the dodge ball event this past Saturday. Everyone had a great time. Also, thanks for the ideas for future events the GLFs could host. Hopefully we can continue to host this one, and similar events, in the future. Join us at Habitat for Humanity this coming Saturday, October 31.

registering for classes

It's that time of year again....class registration for next semester. Aaahhh. I'm trying to figure out if I should have all night classes or squeeze a daytime class in if I have the chance? With all of my other obligations...I don't want to make things harder than they need to be. At the same time, it may be more helpful to have some kind of pattern allowing me to get a rhythm going in the Spring. What works for you? When do you usually take classes?

October 31st - Graduate Life Fellows will host a volunteer opportunity with Habitat for Humanity

The addresses are 3816 and 3820 Davis Ave. Use directions below. Do not enter this address into MapQuest or even Google maps – it will give you the wrong directions. No experience is necessary. The workday starts at 7:30am, meeting at the UCF Student Center/Advent Lutheran Church in the parking lot (across from campus) and will end by 4pm. You can drive yourself to help determine your own schedule.

Directions to the house: (you can choose to meet us at the worksite)

I-85 South to I-77 South to West on Wilkinson. Turn Right on Midland. Turn Left on Davis Ave. Do not search for this address on Google maps or MapQuest as they both will provide Davis Lane for some reason in a different part of town.

Wear your UNC Charlotte/Graduate School gear and be ready to have some fun! Meet other graduate students and give back to your community. You are not required to stay the entire workday.
