The Professional Administrative Staff Council and the Classified Staff Council is looking to make the campus community stronger and more supportive than ever by kicking off a fundraiser to spread Bear pride.

To join in the effort, faculty, staff and students can purchase a "Be the BIGGER Bear" sticker to symbolie what it means to be a true Bear and live by these powerful principals:

• B is for Boundaries: Set clear and healthy boundaries.
• I is for Integrity: Do the right thing, even when no one is watching.
• G is for Grace: Be gracious with those who have different perspectives.
• G is for Generosity: Be generous & compassionate listeners; rephrase what you've heard.
• E is for Empathy: Extend empathy to others and strengthen relationships.
• R is for Responsibility: Own your role in any misunderstanding, whether it’s 10% or 100%.

Buying a sticker supports this message and invests in a culture of kindness, understanding and connection on campus. Plus, it’s a great way to show Bear spirit.

How to get involved: Fill out our request form to snag a "Be the Bigger Bear" sticker and be part of this movement. Every purchase goes directly to supporting our amazing community of UNC staff.

Let’s come together, lead with compassion and be the BIGGER Bear.
