This year’s TEDxUNCCharlotte, featuring 11 total speakers, is a live event from 1 to 5 p.m., Saturday, March 18, in Cone University Center, McKnight Hall. Of the 11 speakers, three are UNC Charlotte staff or faculty members, and six are University students.

Dear Niners,
Over the last two weekends, tragic acts of violence have unfolded on campuses and in communities across the country. An attack left four students at the University of Idaho dead, a gunman took the lives of three UVA football players and injured two other students — including another member of the football team — and most recently, there was a shooting at Club Q, an LGTBQIA+ nightclub, in Colorado Springs. 

Our hearts grieve with the families, friends and communities affected by these senseless acts. 

Veterans Day is Friday, Nov. 11, and to honor campus members’ service, the Office of Veterans Services and the Charlotte chapter of Student Veterans of America will hold a breakfast from 10 to 11:30 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 10, in the Cone University Center, Room 210. This event is for military-affiliated students, faculty, staff and campus ROTC detachments. Afterward, starting at noon, there will be a one-mile Warrior Walk.
