The visit was the second stop -- the first was at N.C. Central University's campus in Durham last month -- on a yearlong tour of all 16 UNC-system campuses.
Wilson is the first BOG chairman in recent history to tour each campus to facilitate communication between board members and students and to identify important issues on individual campuses.
Representatives from seven UNC-CH organizations -- including the Graduate and Professional Student Federation, the Black Student Movement and the National Pan Hellenic Council -- attended the meeting.
Wilson spoke to the attending student leaders about common concerns and issues emerging on campuses -- including effective communication, student representation and tuition fee increases.
Tuition increases are complex issues that the BOG must consider in reference to peer institutions, he said.
Wilson said he voted for every implemented tuition change after determining that the increases would not deter students from attending system schools. "I will only continue to support the bills if they include sufficient financial aid," he said.
The budget passed by the N.C. General Assembly on Friday included a provision that increased financial aid by $4.5 million, Wilson said.
"(Legislators) will talk to you, they will listen to you," he said. "At the moment, it's all abstract to (them). It would help them put a face on the impact of their budget.
"But you should never meet a member of the General Assembly without thanking them for the budget."
