  • Strategic Plan, 2004-2007
    North Carolina Botanical Garden – Strategic Plan – 2010-2012 1 North Carolina Botanical Garden Strategic Plan 2010-2012 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill I. Introduction The North Carolina Botanical Garden’s first strategic plan (2005-2007) was the result of a series of planning sessions, focus groups, and discussions facilitated by Richard Daley of EMD Consulting Group, LLC. Much has changed since that planning period: a new 31,000 sq ft building, the Education Center, which began construction in November 2007, opened in the fall of 2009. This project also reconfigured circulation, parking, and outdoor garden spaces and closed the segment of Laurel Hill Road that long separated our display collections from visitor parking. The roadbed has been replaced with parking, paths, and beds for new gardens. The 2010-2012 Strategic Plan will guide the first years of operation of the new facilities and gardens. The next projects in our long-term development plan include the planting of new garden collections around the Education Center, a facility to house the UNC Herbarium, the renovation of the Totten Center as a base for our horticultural department, the upgrading of the Forest Theatre to facilitate its use in performing arts, continued work to assure the conservation of the lands we manage, and continued work to secure the conservation of lands adjacent to our natural areas. As in 2005-2007, the 2010-2012 strategic plan includes statements of: Mission and Vision Core Values Sustainable Competitive Advantage Institution-wide Goals Objectives The Mission, Vision, Core Values, Sustainable Competitive Advantage, and Institution-wide Goals are the foundations of the institution.

  • Ten Thousand Roses
    Dori Freeman’s inimitable signature sound is in peak form on her fourth studio album, Ten Thou- sand Roses. Raised among a family of musicians in the Blue Ridge Mountains and hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of the most authentic vocalists to emerge from the hills of southwestern Virginia in recent years,” she’s a bonafide Appalachian artist, while simultaneously shattering the archetype by empowering the characters in her songs with personal strength and homegrown wisdom. Through this process, she both defies and expands notions of what it means to be from the region. Ten Thousand Roses follows three widely acclaimed records produced by Teddy Thompson, one of which produced “You Say,” which continues to find fans, steadily climbing toward six million streams on Spotify, largely by word of mouth. Freeman has been praised by outlets such as NPR, Rolling Stone and The New York Times, but has chosen to remain outside of Nashville literally and figuratively. She lives in Galax, Virginia, where she says she’s been better able to develop her music in a truer way to her personally. “I’ve never been drawn to living in the city as much as I love visiting them. I prefer a rural, small town life,” says Freeman. She also believes that liv- ing apart from the industry frees her from the pressure to fit current ideas of what a genre should sound like. “I just make music I like and hope other people will like it, too.” Dori Freeman has always been an artist who’s had an eclectic range of influences and the ability to deliver deeply moving vocals in a variety of styles that comprise the Americana genre.

  • Tips for New Faculty
    Tips for New Faculty Charles Kuralt provided a sense of the Carolina aura when he said: What is it that binds us to this place as to no other? It is not the well or the bell or the stone walls. Or the crisp October nights or the memory of dogwoods blooming. Our loyalty is not only to William Richardson Davie, though we are proud of what he did 200 years ago today. Nor even to Dean Smith, though we are proud of what he did last March. No, our love for this place is based on the fact that it is, as it was meant to be, the University of the people. UNC Bicentennial, 1993 While Kuralt was speaking about UNC’s relationship to the people of North Carolina, his words also hold true for the people who make up the campus community in relation to one another. People on this campus care about one another, their departments and schools, the campus as a whole. Students matter. Colleagues matter. As a faculty member new to Carolina, you matter. When current faculty members were asked what advice they would give faculty new to Carolina, they were quick to respond and eloquent in their responses. This essay brings together their ideas, addressing key areas of faculty life. As the tips were received, they were categorized into the following areas, teaching, research, mentoring/ relationships/connections, becoming part of the community, and balancing competing demands. Teaching A significant part of most new faculty members’ time will be spent in the classroom. Teaching is an important part of the mission of UNC and provides students the opportunity to interact with and learn from some of the top scholars in the world.

  • Booty & Cheeba
    BOOTY & CHEEBA by Ryan Gaio B.A. (Honours Specialization), English Language and Literature, University of Western Ontario, 2014 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Academic Unit of English Supervisor: Mark Anthony Jarman, MFA, English Examining board: Stephen Schryer, PhD, English Christine Horne, PhD, French This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK May, 2017 © Ryan Gaio, 2017 ii ABSTRACT Booty & Cheeba is a creative writing thesis consisting of six interconnected chapters focused on a small-town high school. The set is framed by an adult narrator reflecting on his teenaged past and his relationship to the school in discussion. These reflections on the past are used to emphasize the importance of embracing the present. Through its exploration of high school years, the text investigates the “naïve ambition of youth;” this attitude, characteristic of this stage of adolescence, is one that the thesis ultimately defends and even praises. iii DEDICATION This thesis could not have been written without the assistance of many, and to them, I wish to express my deepest thanks. To all my writing mentors, particularly Mark, but also Robin, Larry, David, and each of the fellow students who sat with me at a long green table: thank you for teaching me how to tell stories. To all my professors: thank you for teaching me what good stories are. To the many alumni of NDSS, especially Cheryl, Tina, Marty, Odarka, and the McCarthys, who kindly gave me their time and memories: thank you for helping me find my way around a school that I did not go to.
