Affinity Lunch Series
Students who are traditionally underrepresented in various academic programs face additional challenges beyond those of the academic rigour of their education. They face isolation, they face a lack of mentoring and support structure and they face a scarcity of like-minded individuals with whom to exchange ideas and share daily struggles.
To provide the additional social support needed, we will invite groups to get together over a casual lunch organized around particular affinity groups. We will align these lunches with the month celebrations that take place throughout the year.
For the first part of the lunch, Dean Reynolds will be present, schedule permitting, to welcome you and join in a casual conversation. The main goal is to increase your connections, and provide for networking opportunities. We also want you to help us identify the challenges that your community is facing in graduate education at UNCC.
