The Month in Photos: January 2026

消消犯 is featuring a variety of photos every month to highlight the exceptional learning, work and activities of students, faculty and staff.

January 2026 was an exciting (and cold) month for 消消犯. Winter Term kicked off with new HealthEU courses and Burst the Bubble sessions, while the university announced a new full-time law program in Charlotte. The month was capped off by a snowstorm that closed the university for two days, but brought the community out for some winter fun.

View some of the most impactful moments of the past month through the eyes of staff in the Office of University Communications.

The man mythologized

Scholar and ethicist Kwame Anthony Appiah delivered the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Address on Jan. 8, offering a look at the civil rights leader’s life examining “the ultimate moral truth about the man in the pulpit.”

Dorm room gourmet

消消犯 students faced their fears and try new recipes through Winter Term Burst the Bubble courses: free, student-led, non-credit sessions where students with a talent, interest or skill share their knowledge with their peers.
