Students mount "mining for 49" campaign for Habitat

UNC Charlotte students, with significant assistance of alumni, have raised more than $49,000 of the $85,000 needed to construct a Habitat for Humanity house on campus in the week leading up to Homecoming on Oct. 12. The house will be partially constructed on campus at the corner of John Kirk Rd. and University City Blvd. The build is unique for two reasons -- the first-ever build on campus and the 49ers' first-ever football Homecoming.  Find out more online.
