    March 16, 2020 Dear Partnership Advisory Group, New Hanover County Board of Commissioners, and New Hanover Regional Medical Center Board of Trustees: Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your request for proposal for a strategic partnership with New Hanover Regional Medical Center (NHRMC). We have long admired the quality care NHRMC provides for the citizens of southeastern North Carolina and your reputation for excellence. The partnerships UNC Health and NHRMC have fostered over many years have been productive for both of our systems and allowed each of us to further serve our missions. We have enjoyed learning in more detail about your organization through this RFP process. NHRMC’s co-workers, leaders, physicians and your community should be very proud of your health care system. To better understand NHRMC’s goals, we have attended your Partnership Advisory Group meetings and reviewed the materials provided to all respondents. After many discussions among our system leaders and our Board of Directors, we believe we understand NHRMC’s current situation and your desire to ensure your continued success for future generations. We would like to share our vision of how UNC Health could serve as a long-term partner. Our proposal reflects what we believe to be the best approach to meet the needs of NHRMC, your patients and your community. UNC Health proposes that we start our journey together through a significantly enhanced educational and research partnership, which we will refer to as our “academic partnership,” as well as a strengthened clinical partnership. This enriched relationship can evolve and expand over time, as NHRMC’s needs change.

  • Impact Report Fy 2015 2018
    FROM INKLING TO INNOVATION UNC Office of Technology Commercialization How faculty and staff at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill take FY 2015 IMPACT ideas to market and innovations to scale 2018 REPORT Office of Technology Commercialization Impact Report UNC Office of Technology Commercialization FY2015-18 Impact Report 2 One of the reasons I came to Carolina as a faculty member in 1995 is because of our University’s commitment to be the leading innovation and entrepreneurship center in higher education. Today, Carolina has created and nurtured a strong culture of innovation that is turning the knowledge of our faculty and students into practical solutions, taking valuable ideas to the inventive edge. Thanks to the dedication of Judith Cone and her team, we are working strategically, collaborating creatively and fully activating this culture of success. The ripple effect of this commitment is making a global impact: Talented researchers and those with entrepreneurial aspirations are moving more ideas, more rapidly and more effectively, into the world where this work has the greatest impact. We are far from done – Carolina is committed to innovation and entrepreneurship that boldly addresses our world’s most pressing challenges. KEVIN GUSKIEWICZ INTERIM CHANCELLOR, UNC-CHAPEL HILL One of the most important things that we can do for the people of North Carolina and the people of this country is to create that next big opportunity that is going to have a chance to change the world and make a difference in our lives. BOB BLOUIN EXECUTIVE VICE CHANCELLOR AND PROVOST, UNC-CHAPEL HILL As a public institution and leading research university, Carolina has an obligation to seek the answer to this question: How do we ensure that the great talent of our faculty, staff and students is put to its highest use? For UNC-Chapel Hill, that means doing everything we can to support our people as they uncover solutions that make a real difference to the citizens of North Carolina and the world.

Neurological disorders include, but are not limited to, epilepsy, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and traumatic brain injuries. As the number of people affected by such disorders increases with little corresponding increases in support, there is a dire need for an organization like NeuroCare to step in. NeuroCare strives to spread awareness about neurological disorders and preventative measures, to promote funding in neurological research, and to provide a support system for people who have disorders of the nervous system. NeuroCare gives undergraduate students at both UNC and Duke opportunities to participate in knowledge­based service with a targeted patient population and their families.

    CAROLINA PERFORMING ARTS 2010/11 BeijingDance/LDTX Tuesday & Wednesday, April 12 & 13 at 7:30pm carolina performing arts 10/11 1 carolina performing arts 10/11 3 Dear Friends For the last several months, we at Carolina Performing Arts have been working to finalize the schedule for our 2011-12 season. Every year, I find this process exhilarating and challenging, rewarding and frustrating. Our 2010-11 season has been filled with performances from legendary, established artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea and McCoy Tyner, as well as emerging voices like Nicola Benedetti, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (with his Sutra), and the young virtuosi who make up Gidon Kremer’s Kremerata Baltica. And there is much more to come in these last months. As we work to craft our new season, selecting works that engage, delight and enliven our 2010/11 SEASON audiences, I am constantly reminded of the budgetary considerations that make curating a season so difficult. As you probably know, the costs associated with bringing the caliber of art we have all come to expect from this series far exceed the revenue brought in from ticket sales alone. As we handpick each performance, I am constantly forced to consider cost, to weigh our curatorial mission against our bottom line, to ask myself, “Can we afford to bring this work to our audiences?” Many exciting artists do not make the cut. All told, ticket sales make up about 45% of the money needed to keep Carolina Performing Arts running. In a surrealist thought experiment, my colleagues in development and I often wonder what our season would look like at 45%.
