Welcome
The External Affairs team serves as the primary point of contact for the University’s interests in local, state and federal government processes. Primarily focused on monitoring/tracking, reporting, informing and communicating policy and funding priorities at various governmental levels, the External Affairs team also works to build and maintain productive relationships with all levels of community leaders, public officials and their staffs.
The University interacts with government officials in multiple ways across a variety of issues. To better illustrate the University’s relationship with public agencies, please explore this site for a brief summary of the ways in which UNCG interacts with different branches of government. It’s important to emphasize that the University’s institutional viewpoint on any specific issue or topic can only be represented by members of the senior leadership team or their designees. On this site, the External Affairs staff has provided situation-specific guidance on this distinction for UNCG employees and students.
