Student Organizations

Active Students for a Healthy Environment (A.S.H.E.) is UNC Asheville’s oldest student environmental organization. Formerly known as the “ecology club”, we focus on raising environmental awareness, leadership development, and initiating proactive, progressive action to make positive sustainable changes in our environment. We are involved with and often help organize a wide range of campus and community events having to do with conservation, political action, and celebration of our environment and our role as stewards. We help students to think globally while acting locally. Ashe can be reached by e-mail through ashe@unca.edu.

Promotes the interest and unity of students in the study and theory of sociology. Membership is open to all sociology majors who meet the national AKD requirements. Associate membership is open to the entire campus.

The purpose of the UNC Asheville Alternative Athletics Association (A4) is to foster a fun, safe, and communal environment in which to support a healthier lifestyle through active physical sport.  We intend to accomplish this goal by providing a sound structure for alternative athletic events that can be held in accordance with UNC Asheville policies and bylaws.

UNC Asheville Ancient Garden Club was chartered in January 2007 from the original LSIC class of the fall 2006 semester, Ancient Gardens. Classics professor Dr. Dorothy Dvorsky-Rohner taught the original class and continues on as the club's academic advisor.  From the class, the club was given the grape trellis, the sundial and al the embankment of herbs that history tells us were grown during antiquity.  Though the purpose of the Ancient Garden Club is one of beautification of the garden area located on the bank behind New Hall, all vegetation that is grown there was grown and cultivated by either the ancient Romans or Greeks during their times.
