Each year, UNC Charlotte hosts a Fall Student Organizations Showcase after Freshman Convocation on the first Monday before classes start.

Fall of 2017, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte's campus welcomed a new up and coming club to their roster! The Network of enlightened Women is a nationally expanding organization focusing on empowering young women on college campuses all across the country.
