The BLDG Series, formerly known as Achieving Carolina Excellence (ACE), is a student engagement initiative within the University Office for Diversity and Inclusion. The events within the BLDG (Belonging, Learning, Professional Development, Growth) series are designed to target each of these themes. BLDG events are held on a monthly basis and are open to all students, both undergraduate and graduate students alike.  

BLDG serves as an attempt to streamline the University Office for Diversity and Inclusion’s Student Access, Success, and Engagement (SASE) programs with a focus on student academic, social, personal, and professional success. 

BLDG Goals

• Promote holistic student success 
• Create and implement programming that fosters student belonging, learning, professional development, and growth 
• Support the retention of a diverse student body 
• Advance the University Office for Diversity and Inclusion’s vision and mission
