UNC vs. Virginia www.goheels.com/ TUESDAY Feb 12 TELL ABOUT THE SOUTH 12:30 PM TO 1:30 PM Center for the Study of the American South / 410 East Franklin St Chapel Hill (919) 962-5665 Lucy Britt & Tyler Steelman “Effects of Confederate Monuments on Political Attitudes and Behavior;” Debates around Confederate monuments and the laws in Southern states preventing their removal often center around concerns that, on one side, honoring the Confederacy is an affront to racial minorities, and on the other side, that the monuments are merely an expression of Southern heritage or honor soldiers who died for a “Lost Cause.” Despite vigorous public debate, the effects of the legal protection of these symbols on Southerners’ political attitudes and behaviors have yet to be empirically tested. Using a survey experiment, this project tests whether laws protecting Confederate monuments affect Southerners’ feelings of political efficacy, belonging in their community, and likelihood of politically participating. south.unc.edu/ SPICE IT UP!

Darwin Day Lecture: Plasticity, Epigenetics, and Evolution with David Pfennig, Professor of Biology, UNC-Chapel Hill; Celebrate Darwin's birthday by joining us for our annual Darwin Day Lecture! Genes are widely regarded as the fundamental unit of heredity and source of all biological information. Yet many organisms can respond to changes in their environment by altering their features - during their lifetime - via ‘developmental plasticity.’ These environmentally modified traits can sometimes be passed to offspring in the absence of changes in genes; that is, acquired traits can be inherited ‘epigenetically’. In this talk, we will examine whether and how such environmentally induced changes to organismal development affect evolution. As we will see, research into developmental plasticity and epigenetics has major implications not only for evolution but also for human health. ncbg.unc.edu/ MUSIC AT CAT'S CRADLE 8 PM Cat's Cradle / 300 E Main St Carrboro (919) 967-9053 Admission: $18 in advance, $22 day of show.

  • Mccorkle PLACE
    CHAPTER EIGHT: McCORKLE PLACE McCorkle Place is said to be the most densely memorialized piece of real estate in North Carolina.501 On the University’s symbolic front lawn, there are almost a dozen monuments and memorials fundamental to the University’s lore and traditions, but only two monuments within the space have determined the role of McCorkle Place as a space for racial justice movements.502 The Unsung Founders Memorial and the University’s Confederate Monument were erected on the oldest quad of the campus almost a century apart for dramatically different memorial purposes. The former honors the enslaved and freed Black persons who “helped build” the University, while the latter commemorated, until its toppling in August 2018, “the sons of the University who entered the war of 1861-65.”503 Separated by only a few dozen yards, the physical distinctions between the two monuments were, before the Confederate Monument was toppled, quite striking. The Unsung 501 Johnathan Michels, “Who Gets to be Remembered In Chapel Hill?,” Scalawag Magazine, 8 October 2016, <https://www.scalawagmagazine.org/2016/10/whats-in-a-name/>. 502 Timothy J. McMillan, “Remembering Forgetting: A Monument to Erasure at the University of North Carolina,” in Silence, Screen and Spectacle: Rethinking Social Memory in the Age of Information, ed. Lindsay A. Freeman, Benjamin Nienass, and Rachel Daniell, 137-162, (Berghahn Book: New York, New York, 2004): 139-142; Other memorials and sites of memory within McCorkle Place include the Old Well, the Davie Poplar, Old East, the Caldwell Monument, a Memorial to Founding Trustees, and the Speaker Ban Monument.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The History of the West Chapel Hill Cemetery
    A Segregated Part of Heaven: The History of the West Chapel Hill Cemetery Prepared for: The Preservation Society of Chapel Hill Chapel Hill, North Carolina By: Steve J. Rankin May 2011 Introduction What is currently known as the West Chapel Hill Cemetery was established in 1949 as the public municipal cemetery predominantly for use by the African American residents of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the immediate surrounding area. The cemetery is located on Village Drive and is (and always has been) owned by the City of Chapel Hill. Although the cemetery is relatively modern, it has been somewhat neglected over time. The first known survey of the cemetery was conducted in 1973; 44 marked graves, 6 unmarked graves, and one unassociated footstone were recorded. In 1975 the cemetery was resurveyed; 46 marked graves and 58 unmarked graves were recorded. There are currently 37 fully marked graves, and numerous noticeable unmarked graves, within the cemetery’s limits.1 The Preservation Society of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, funded this study so as to have information regarding the West Chapel Hill Cemetery made available for the residents of Chapel Hill, as many consider this to be “Chapel Hill’s forgotten (and neglected) cemetery.” Recommendations as to the further study, documentation, stewardship, and protection of this cemetery are on page 22 of this report. Appendix E, the 2009 North Carolina Cemetery Code, is to be used for reference and guidance if needed. 1 My survey of the cemetery was conducted February 23, 2011. To clarify, “survey” as defined in this case (and in the 1973 and 1975 surveys’ cases) means merely a non-intrusive, pedestrian viewing of the cemetery for the purpose of taking notes and/or photographs; no archaeological/CRM surveying, testing, or excavating was conducted.
