Chloe Brown graduated with the inaugural Cohort of Civic Impact Academy in 2024.

Here’s a look at her Community Design Challenge:

Name of Project:

Support for Black Undergraduate Students at UNCC

Description:

This project aims to create a supportive and accessible space for Black undergraduate students at UNC Charlotte. This space would be specifically for students pursuing careers in law. It would be designed to address the challenges they face in academic, personal, and career development.

Chloe highlights that Black students are underrepresented in the legal profession and at UNC Charlotte. These students often lack mentorship opportunities, and supportive resources to navigate the law school application process.

The initiative will provide tailored guidance, reduce bureaucratic obstacles, and foster mentorship opportunities to empower students and address systemic barriers.

The project will continue connecting students with legal professionals, advocating for change, and providing ongoing resources.
