Remote instruction can provide many students with access to some of these experiences. But for most, campus life offers the most comprehensive access to the learning and living experiences that lead to more fulfilling lives, research discoveries and medical breakthroughs, and a stronger North Carolina. That is why the UNC System has invested heavily in making its campuses safe places to teach, study, live, and work this fall.
CHAPEL HILL, NC – The University of North Carolina System has released two new public service announcements aimed at promoting safe practices as students return for the start of the Fall 2020 semester.
The University of North Carolina System has been notified of a ransomware attack on Blackbaud, a private company contracted to provide constituent relationship management services for the UNC System and several constituent institutions.
The UNC System announces that teams from three institutions within the UNC System have been awarded grants through the University of North Carolina’s Research Opportunities Initiative (UNC ROI).
By strengthening online instruction, institutions will be more adaptable to the challenges COVID-19 presents. The initiatives support the System-wide emphasis on a hybrid approach to instruction, which employs both in-classroom and online learning. This increased mix of remote learning technologies will ease the strain on classroom space and enable physical distancing. And, in the event that circumstances change, institutions will be ready to pivot to fully online instruction, quickly and effectively.
The UNC Board of Governors will meet in regular session at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 23, 2020 via conference call. A total of eight committee meetings of the board will be held on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 via conference call.
The UNC System launched the first in a series of intensive System-wide workshops, which will provide faculty with information, tools, and experiences to promote successful teaching online.
