Inclusivity Mixer

Inclusivity Mixer: Established in 2017, the Inclusivity Mixer is the premiere diversity engagement event connecting students and employers at UNC Charlotte. The event welcomes all applicants and employers and aims to promote inclusivity and equity no matter the race, ethnicity, citizenship, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, disability, socio-economic status, special abilities, and religion.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month

Each October, several offices across campus, including the Office of Identity, Equity, and Engagement, the Office of Disability Services, the Career Center, and more offer programming that centers on disabled community members and their professional development as well as their rights in the workforce. Stay tuned for more information!

Professional Clothing Closet

We believe access to good quality professional attire can help our students feel more confident in themselves and present a more polished representation of their “career selves”.  In 2017, partnering with the Jamil Niner Food Pantry, our office provided new opportunities for student education around professional presentation and an expansion of acquired clothing to meet the student need.  Over the past three years, this operation has blossomed into providing professional clothing to students the day of career fairs, collaboration with Alumni groups which brought in more than 500+ items, sponsorship from local employers,individuals, and the university’s Diversity Fund, and a newly renovated space (check it out in our office tour video!) within the career center with a special thanks to IKEA and Sherwin Williams for helping us get everything established! 

Summer Internship Scholarship Fund

Internships are an important way to get insights into a career field, obtain valuable professional experience, and develop new skills.  There are some students that find themselves in a position of having to decide between a part time job that pays for college and taking on an unpaid internship that can provide greater career opportunities in the future.  In 2018, our career center made the strategic decision to reinvest revenue from our career fairs towards an internship scholarship that provides a stipend to alleviate financial obstacles.  Since inception, the program continues to see an increase in applicants, alumni and employer sponsorship, and a partnership with the 49er Family Fund!

Reverse Diversity Panel

The Reverse Diversity Panel is an annual spring event that started in 2022 that focuses on UNC Charlotte's diverse students coordinated by the University Career Center. Instead of having working professionals, students are in the spotlight and are panelists. Employers are the audience and ask questions to the student panelists.

We are looking for 4-5 diverse students that represent the various identities of UNC Charlotte.

Please complete the form and your application will be reviewed. If selected to be a panelist for the Spring 2023 Reverse Diversity Panel, you will be notified by email or phone.
