AC-10: Support for Sustainability Research

-JusticeCon Symposium. The Office of Student Inclusion and Diversity along with the Social Justice Committee hosts the Social Justice Symposium every spring in the Livermore Library. The symposium serves to increase awareness, share ideas and experiences, foster dialogue, highlight research and resources, build networks and empower participants by providing strategies and techniques for taking action against injustice. REACH Symposium. In December 2019, UNC Pembroke received a three-year $950,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to establish R.E.A.C.H—a program designed to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in faculty positions in institutions of higher education across the United States. R.E.A.C.H. aims to create a groundswell of future scholars among American Indian, African-American, Hispanic-American and other underrepresented minorities interested in advanced study in the humanities--although any qualified student is eligible. The Livermore Library hosts the REACH symposium every spring.

-PURC- Pembroke Undergracuate Rearch and Creativity Symposium 

The Pembroke Undergraduate Research and Creativity (PURC) Center of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke stimulates, supports and promotes inquiry, discovery and creativity in scholarship and the arts through mentored research experiences with faculty and other regional, national and international scholars and professionals. 

The center facilitates and coordinates preparation in research skills necessary for professional fields and graduate study.

The center is designated to serve as a clearinghouse for undergraduate research and creativity opportunities on and off campus. Undergraduate students presenting their work at conferences are encouraged to apply for a travel grant. Additionally, faculty mentors are encouraged to promote their research agendas through the PURC.

Through their participation in research, UNC Pembroke’s faculty, students and staff embrace engaged scholarship as a means to further the Institution’s mission to “enhance the intellectual, cultural, economic and social life of the region.”

Research not only invigorates the intellectual climate of our campus, it also serves to improve the quality of life in our community and region.

As our undergraduate and graduate students work alongside our scientists, scholars and artists they gain requisite skills for successful careers that will allow them to participate in driving knowledge and innovation for everyone’s future.
