Campus Y

United Effort: Haiti

Extended Disaster Relief, a committee of the Campus Y, is channeling the concerted effort in the wake of the recent January 12 Haitian earthquake. This monumental disaster requires cooperation amongst us all, and a coalition of student leaders is working to coordinate UNC’s efforts for donations.  Now is our time as students to lead the University’s united relief effort.

Since its establishment in 1859, the Campus Y has been one of

the most vibrant student organizations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Through student dedication and commitment, the Y is a leader in on-campus discussion and dialogue and off-campus service and activism. Through the years, the Y led the racial integration of the student body, the opposition to the Vietnam war, the effort to improve wages and working conditions for University employees, the establishment of the Sonja Haynes Stones Center for Black Culture and History and many other efforts to improve our campus and our community.

The students who work for the Y are people just like you, with some, little, or no prior experience. But, they are the core of the Y--transforming the Y's beliefs into action and working closely together to promote the Y's mission, "the pursuit of social justice through the cultivation of pluralism."

The Y fosters not only social change, but also friendships that can last a lifetime. On such a large campus, the Y serves as a center where students of different races, religions and backgrounds can come together to enhance their own cultural awareness and celebrate diversity. With the Y, students can find their own niche in the large UNC-CH population.
