Campus Engagement and Leadership (CEL) has a rich history at UNC Pembroke. Founded in 1984, CEL has experienced seven directors, four office name changes and one university name change, but it has always existed to serve UNC Pembroke students. This year marks the 35th anniversary for the office.

Over the years, CEL has been an integral part of Student Affairs and the culture of UNC Pembroke. CEL started in the beginning simply planning activities for students. We steadily evolved into the advisement of Student Government and, eventually, all clubs and organizations. In the mid-90's, leadership development became a point of emphasis with the Student Leadership Series workshops. CEL added the Leadership and Service Opportunities Program (LSOP) in 1999. That program combined community service to leadership and eventually evolved into the Office for Community and Civic Engagement. Intramural sports were a part of CEL until 2006, when it branched off and eventually grew into the Campus Recreation office we see today. For many years, CEL was responsible for the majority of cultural education programming including A Taste of Culture, Black History Month, Native American Heritage Month, Women’s History events and more. By 2002, the Student Affairs leadership team recognized the growth of these programs by creating the Office Diversity and Inclusion. For many years, CEL was the home for Greek Life. Eventually, Greek Life separated from CEL and became Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL). In January 2018, FSL returned to the CEL family.

Today, CEL is made up of four major branches: Leadership Education, led by Bethany Wendler Programming, led by Parker Watson Fraternities and Sororities, led by Lamar James and Jade Jones Student Organizations/Student Government Association, led by Kyle Levine

Each branch is responsible for amazing programs like the Leadership Living and Learning Community (UNC Pembroke's premier learning community), the annual Talent Show, Meet the Greeks and the bi-annual Involvement Fair, to name a very few.

Through the years, CEL has been responsible for sponsoring, promoting and executing some of the biggest events in the history of UNC Pembroke. Some of those events included: Writer Maya Angelou, who sold out the Jones Athletic Center with over 2,750 in attendance, Director Spike Lee, who sold out the Givens Performing Arts Center (GPAC) and won Oscar in 2018, Scientist Bill Nye, who drew a crowd of over 1,000, Actor James Earl Jones, who sold out GPAC, TV Personality Oliver North, who drew a crowd of over 1,000, Athlete Bruce Jenner, Actor Henry Winkler, who won a 2018 Emmy Award, Actress Rita Moreno, who is an Emmy, Grammy, Tony and Oscar winner, and Comedians Dave Chappelle, Tracy Morgan, D.L. Hugley, Mike Epps and Bruce Bruce, all of whom sold out GPAC.

This year’s report will highlight the accomplishments from the 2018-2019 academic year. CEL has continued to impact UNC Pembroke students and has been a major contributor to UNC Pembroke Student Affairs for 35 years! T H E ANNUAL REPORT
