Niblock Student Center
From the beginning of your undergraduate career until graduation, the Niblock Student Center is designed to help you achieve academic and professional success. It provides comprehensive and transformative support for Belk College of Business undergraduate students in order to help students discover, develop and move toward their academic and career destination.
The Center is named for Robert A. Niblock, retired CEO of Lowe’s Companies and Belk College alumnus, in recognition of his significant financial support and his desire to provide professional development opportunities for undergraduate students. The physical space for the Niblock Student Center — on the third floor of the Friday building in suite 305 — was renovated in 2017 to create a one-stop experience for students.
