About the Chapter
The UNC-CH College Republicans are committed to spreading the principles of conservatism and the Republican Party across campus. Our goals include electing Republicans at all levels of government, preparing students for leadership, and contributing to the marketplace of ideas on campus. The UNC-CH College Republicans are one of the largest and most active clubs in the southeast. In past years, we have logged thousands of hours campaigning for Republican candidates at the local, state, and national levels and have designed campaign plans to help conservative students make major gains in student government elections. Furthermore, over the past few years, we have brought high-profile leaders of the Conservative Movement to speak on campus including government officials (former Sen. Zell Miller & former US Attorney General John Ashcroft), columnists and pundits (Ann Coulter, Jonah Goldberg, and Stephen Moore), and academics (Walter Williams).
