The email, which was intended to serve as a news update for students, experienced difficulties when the it was prematurely sent out. Students who wished to be unsubsc

World Suicide Prevention Day occurs on Sept. 10 and on that day, people took a few moments to remember those that they have lost to suicide. Here at UNC Pembroke, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provided luminaries for students to decorate with stickers, glitter glue, ribbons, and markers. Once the luminaries were decorated, they were put outside, lit with candles and placed along the walkway for others to look at and read. A luminary is a personal item of those

Enter Death Row: A Look At UNCP's Defensive Line

There’s a lot of learning going on for the UNCP football team this season. Young players are having to step up into bigger roles than they might have expected to be in months ago. Consequently, the Braves have struggled to execute in many phases of the game as those athletes learn the ropes of college football. One thing the Braves have been able to count on consistently is their ability to keep opposing quarterbacks under pressure. That is due in part to the efforts of UNCP’

Women's Soccer Narrowly Drops Upset Bid To No. 2 Columbus State
