Making BraveNation Home
At UNC Pembroke, community isn’t just something you find on campus — it’s all around
you. Many of our employees quickly find a home here, building connections and friendships
that last a lifetime.
My wife and I quickly felt at home on campus and in Lumberton. It's the kind of place where it's easy to make friends, get involved in the community and be part of something meaningful — whether through local events, charitable causes or our church. It has become more than just a place to live; it’s family.

Discover our Community
Our campus is nestled in the heart of Pembroke, a community beaming with southern
charm and university pride. Pembroke is the political and cultural center of North Carolina’s largest American Indian tribe
— the Lumbee — and is located in Robeson County, one of the most diverse counties
in the nation.
In less than two hours, you can be in the mountains, at the beach or dining in the
state capital. But you’ll also find a lot to do right here at home. From Broadway
shows at the Givens Performing Arts Center to local wineries or kayaking along the
Lumber River, the community has a lot to offer.
The town of Pembroke offers a welcoming, tight-knit community rich in Lumbee culture
and Southern hospitality. With local shops, parks, and year-round events, it’s a place
where neighbors know your name and traditions are celebrated. The surrounding area
adds even more charm, with scenic farmland, easy access to nature, and a pace of life
that feels grounded and connected.
Just 45 minutes from campus, Fayetteville offers a dynamic mix of history, entertainment,
and shopping —plus a strong military presence that brings global connections to the
region. From downtown festivals and art walks to restaurants and outdoor trails, it’s
a city full of opportunities to explore and unwind.
UNC Pembroke offers the charm of a close-knit campus community with the added benefit
of being just a short drive from the vibrant culture and energy of Raleigh. Whether
you’re looking for concerts, food festivals, museums or sporting events, the capital
city’s attractions are within easy reach — giving you the best of both worlds.
As one of the largest gatherings in southeastern North Carolina, Lumbee Homecoming
showcases the rich history and culture of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. Thousands
descend on the Town of Pembroke annually to eat collard sandwiches and grape ice cream,
purchase Native art, attend a parade and powwow, crown the Lumbee Ambassadors and
watch a fireworks display.
The Lumber River State Park, one hundred and 15-miles of beautiful natural and scenic
waterway, flows through Lumberton, N.C., and is designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. It is considered one of the most highly
prized recreation sites in North Carolina. Recreation includes canoeing and boating,
fishing, hunting, picnicking, camping, nature study, swimming, biking, jogging, crafts
and fossil and artifact hunting.
