Dear Parents and Family Members,
On behalf of the UNC Asheville community,
I welcome you to the beginning of the second semester. The mission of
the Division of Student Affairs is to develop and implement programs and
services that foster an inclusive, nurturing, and challenging community in which
all students have the opportunity to engage in integrated and transformative
learning which prepares them to be productive citizens of a global society and
develop a lifelong commitment to learning and personal wellness. Knowing that
parents and family members play a vital role in their student’s success, we
value you as true partners in this endeavor.
The Office of Special Programs in the
Division of Student Affairs provides direct programs and services to parents and
other family members. Ms. Mary Chakales is the Director of Special Programs and
is your liaison to the University on issues related to the parents and other
family members of our students. Please contact Mary at mchakale@unca.edu or
828-232-2417 if you have any questions or concerns.
Please know that we are readily
available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have and we look
forward to seeing you at Family Weekend.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Haggard, Ed.D.
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
