The Society of Art Historians is an organization designed to support the professional development of all art history majors and minors and to promote knowledge and appreciation of art and art history throughout the campus and the surrounding community. We have many goals we hope to achieve, namely bringing more interest to the arts and art history through our presence, as well as creating a source of networking that will surpass our time at Charlotte.

The Ceramics Association was created to promote the professional development of artists interested in the use of clay. Our intent is to establish an environment for students, alumni and faculty to share ideas and information that relate to the ceramic arts and create an avenue for public outreach. We present workshops, host guest speakers, and occasionally travel to explore ceramic subject matter, skills and techniques.

If you need classroom support, have questions about a classroom topic or approach, or have witnessed something in class you’d like to speak about, the course instructor is a highly recommended first point of contact. If you cannot approach the instructor, you may consider communicating with the department chair or program coordinator as a facilitator. See more resources, below.
The Office of Student Affairs: Student Assistance and Support Services (SASS) assists, supports and advocates for students experiencing a broad range of issues, concerns or challenges interfering with a student’s ability to be successful academically or personally. This includes absence verification, basic needs, emergency housing, food insecurity, student complaints, student emergency fund, tuition, housing and dining appeals, withdrawal, and incomplete grade requests.
You can report incidents of sexual and interpersonal misconduct, as well as incidents of discrimination and harassment to the Office of Civil Rights & Title IX. This office takes active measures to create or restore a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment for community members that is free from discrimination, discriminatory harassment, and sexual or interpersonal violence. Title IX reports also connect students with appropriate resources (i.e. SASS, Dean of Students, chair, etc.)
The primary goal of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is to provide comprehensive wellness-related programs and services to students. CAPS offers individual and group counseling, crisis assistance, consultation, referrals, outreach and online training.
