Connect
The UNC Charlotte Alumni Association invites all Fall 2026 graduates to participate in a new commencement tradition: Forever a Niner, which connects and brings all graduates and their chosen families together to celebrate commencement and their many years of hard work.
A first-of-its-kind initiative in collegiate athletics, the limited-time campaign gives fans, alumni, families, and supporters the opportunity to invest in the future rise of Charlotte Athletics through the purchase of a commemorative, signed, and individually numbered stock certificate. Each certificate symbolizes belief in the momentum of the 49ers and offers supporters the chance to own a symbolic share and a meaningful piece of Charlotte Athletics history.
