NCSSM Alumni Weekend:
Oct. 25-27, 2024

Every five years, NCSSM welcomes our alumni back to campus to rally together in support of our school through the Reunion Challenge. This year, Alumni Weekend is planned for Oct. 25-27, 2024. 

Strong alumni participation reflects our UNI-pride for education, but also our commitment to the future of NCSSM. Whether it’s your fifth anniversary or 35th, we are asking alumni in each class to step up and encourage classmates to participate in the challenge by making a gift to the NCSSM Foundation. No matter the amount, designation, honoree, or memorial, donations made between Jan. 1 and Oct. 28, 2024, will count towards the Reunion Challenge competition. Contribute to the Greater Challenge Fund to support all programs and students at NCSSM, or select another designation. Thank you for your investment in the school’s mission and vision. Everyone can make a difference by participating — no matter the size of the gift.

Make your gift today!
