Light the Way has been powered by torchbearers – people who recognize the importance of breaking down barriers and blazing new paths.
A community of 26,684 UNCG supporters demonstrated their belief in this University, in our students, in our excellence, and in the bright future we are building for the Triad and for North Carolina. Together, this community has strengthened student access, advanced academic excellence, and expanded the impact of programs across the University.



It’s been an Extraordinary Journey
Look back at how far we’ve come – from launching Light the Way in the midst of a global pandemic to standing together now, united in gratitude and pride for all we’ve achieved.
