Innovate UNCG | Our Initiatives

Our Initiatives

Innovate UNCG supports several initiatives that help faculty, staff, students, and community partners turn their ideas into impact.

UNCG ESPORTS – Beyond Gaming

We drive esports initiatives on campus, from cutting-edge gaming events to esports and gaming academic programming. In partnership with Stiegler Ed Tech, we push the limits of competition and academic achievement in the Varsity Esports and STEM League.

Dive into the future of gaming with our Unreal Engine trainings and exhilarating game jams, amplified by our collaborative relationship with Epic Games. And mark your calendars for our standout event – the semesterly E2 Weekend, where esports seamlessly intersects with education and gaming passion meets knowledge pursuit.

Innovation Hubs

Using the School of Education as a model, we are establishing Innovation through Impact hubs for each college and school at UNCG. In the hubs, faculty with ideas for impact connect with other innovative faculty in their disciplines. Those hubs connect through Innovate UNCG, bringing innovative faculty across campus together to explore proven strategies for taking ideas to scale, particularly in the context of social innovation and social entrepreneurship.
