Camps & Conferences

UNCP Camps, Events, and Conferences (CEC) is dedicated to enhancing the university experience by providing comprehensive planning, support, and execution of camps, events, and conferences. Through our work, we aim to enhance learning, build meaningful connections and foster community engagement. 

 

Host an Event on Campus

Conferences and events on the UNCP campus serve as dynamic opportunities for learning, networking, and community engagement. They bring together students, faculty, staff, and external partners for professional development, academic discussions, cultural celebrations, social gatherings, and entertainment that enrich the campus experience.

If someone is interested in hosting an event here at UNCP, they must first submit an Inquiry Form, and a staff member will then contact them to discuss their potential event in detail and how we can assist them in bringing it to fruition.
