It’s that time of year again! Gold Rush, UNC Charlotte's welcome program, is underway.
Gold Rush kicks off each semester and welcomes new and returning students to campus. Almost all Gold Rush events are free for students and are hosted by campus departments and student organizations. Gold Rush aims to instill a sense of Niner Pride, teach campus traditions and expose students to campus resources and opportunities for involvement.
Gold Rush runs through Sunday, Aug. 29 and features more than 60 events. Signature programs include RecFest, New Student Convocation, First Day of Class Photobooth, Gold Rush Day of Service and the 2021 NPHC Fall Yard Show. Students can pick up their free Niner Pride t-shirt at Gold Rush signature events. Shirts are first come, first served while supplies last.
For a complete list of events, download the Gold Rush and Year One Launch guide from the Niner DestiNation app. The app is available in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
