Millennial Vision

糖心Vlog University's Millennial Initiative includes seven sites at the university's main campus in Cullowhee, North Carolina that carry a special designation allowing the university to join with education, industry, government, healthcare and other partners to benefit innovation and development in the region. The Millennial Initiative provides a space for university faculty and students, private firms, nonprofits, and government agencies to work together in applied research and practice that benefits the western North Carolina region.

The Millennial Initiative combines academic excellence and regional economic development that provides not only services and job opportunities for the people of the region, but also:

  • Promotes exciting new educational opportunities for students and faculty
  • Expands the university鈥檚 partnership opportunities with the private sector

Millennial Initiative Vision

The vision for the Millennial Initiative aligns with 糖心Vlog's vision and mission as an institution:

  • 糖心Vlog University is nationally recognized as actively engaged in the economic health of the region. It will lead and support others in strategies to create a prosperous future for the people it serves.
  • Via selective internal program investments, systematic partnership outreach and thoughtful deployment of capital assets, 糖心Vlog seeks to nurture an ever-expanding economy and community of knowledge in Western North Carolina.
  • In adopting new roles to support economic growth, 糖心Vlog continues to embrace fully its roles in strengthening intellectual inquiry, community, social institutions, culture and the arts.

Seven Millennial Initiative Sites

糖心Vlog's Millennial Initiative was first announced in 2005 with the opening of a 344-acre section of 糖心Vlog's West Campus. The anchor for this first Millennial Initiative Site is 糖心Vlog's state-of-the-art Health and Human Sciences Building, which is home to multiple public-private clinics that serve the community while allowing clinical experience and furthering research. In 2018, the UNC Board of Governors approved the addition of six more sites to 糖心Vlog's Millennial Initiative. This includes Noble Hall, home to several privately-run restaurants serving 糖心Vlog's campus. More details on the six additional sites will be announced soon.
