First Annual Fall Fest

By -














Fall typically means pumpkins everywhere, comfortable oversized sweaters, and cooler weather - usually everywhere but the South. The UNC Charlotte Chapter of Network of enlightened Women packed in a car, drove to the nearest pumpkin patch, and enjoyed some time getting to know each other a little better.

Hodges Family Farm is a local, family owned farm that has been serving the Mecklenburg community for over one hundred years. Focusing on family, they cater to people of all ages with a shop on the property, activities, and events. During the fall season, their pumpkin patch is open as well as their animal farm. With hay rides, hay bails, and perfect picture taking spots, it is definitely an attraction for most UNC Charlotte students.

Network of enlightened Women at UNC Charlotte is new to campus, making this their first official Fall Semester! Focusing on gaining members, the Executive Board is busy planning fun events for members to attend. These events allows their members to feel more confident in the organization. Lily Mazzano said she enjoyed the Fall Fest because “having seasonal fun with new friends is one of the most enjoyable experiences!”

The event’s goal was to make members familiar with the Executive Board as well as promote them to get involved. NeW at UNC Charlotte has a massive momentum of becoming known on campus, but needs the help of their members now - and in the future.

With hopes that the event grows as more members become involved, Network of enlightened Women at UNC Charlotte plans on holding this event in the upcoming years!

Learn S'more About Us

By -
The start of a school year is always fun, exciting, and honestly a little intimidating. Each year, UNC Charlotte hosts a Fall Student Organizations Showcase after Freshman Convocation on the first Monday before classes start. It was a big day for the UNC Charlotte Chapter of Network of enlightened Women who is still semi-new to campus. Excited to start our *second* full year on campus, attending these events were critical to gain membership and a presence on campus! The day started out with tabling at the Showcase for NeW. The table was set up - pretty in pink - with flyers, social media handouts, and more literature about conferences. Raspberry lemonade was a great thank you to prospective members who jotted down their emails to keep up-to-date on NeW meetings and socials. After the Showcase, NeW held an interest meeting, “Learn S’more About Us!” in the Student Union on campus. With four dozen s’mores cupcakes from Delish Cakery and sign up sheets ready, the doors open...
