The 10:40 Break at NCCU is a beloved campus tradition held every Tuesday and Thursday in the Greek Bowl.
From 10:40 to 11:35 a.m., students gather to socialize, dance, and enjoy music spun by a live DJ. Fraternities and sororities perform strolls, creating a vibrant showcase of Eagle pride and unity. Originating in the 1970s, the break was designed as a time for students to pause, connect, and recharge between classes. Whether it’s catching up with friends or joining the crowd, the 10:40 Break captures the heartbeat of #NCCULife and campus culture.
