Campus entrance blue for autism awareness

April is Autism Awareness Month, and in commemoration of World Autism Awareness Day April 2, UNC Charlotte’s Dickson Gate, the campus’s main entrance, was lit blue as part of a global event to raise awareness of autism and celebrate individuals with autism for their unique talents and gifts. Thousands of iconic landmarks, communities, businesses and homes across the globe united by shining bright blue lights in honor of the millions of individuals and families around the world with autism.
