Ackland Lets You Explore Life As a Frenchwoman in the 1700S Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893 Volume 125, Issue 60 dailytarheel.com Friday, January 26, 2018 Ackland lets you explore life as One of first Black undergraduates a Frenchwoman in the 1700s at UNC dies at 80 John Lewis Brandon challenged segregation at UNC-Chapel Hill. By Myah Ward Assistant University Editor John Lewis Brandon, a key challenger of racial segregation at UNC-Chapel Hill, died on Jan. 22 in Houston after complications from cancer. He was 80 years old. His death came less than a month after the death of his class- mate LeRoy Frasier, who died on Dec. 29. This loss is a difficult one, especially for the people of this generation who had to take these heroic steps, said Joseph Jordan, direc- tor of UNC’s Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History. “Then also understanding that we’ve never really given them the credit that they deserve for changing the way that we operate, not only at UNC, but at other universities across the country,” Jordan said. Brandon’s road to UNC-CH wasn’t an easy one. Brandon and brothers LeRoy and Ralph Frasier were students at Durham’s all-black Hillside High School. They were denied by UNC-CH’s Board of Trustees based on the students’ ability to attend a black college in the state at the time. Filing a lawsuit against the board, the three said that segregated colleges were uncon- stitutional based on the rulings of the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education. The students won the case.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

She’d slept well, and even though it was raining, she was happy to be back in her hometown, running her seventh Boston Marathon. It had been almost six months since she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer, and she was still going through chemotherapy back home in Chapel Hill. But she was excited about the race, nervous to see if she could run the entire 26.2 miles. After Amy laced Remembering up her running shoes, she pinned the Michael O’Malley race bib onto her T-shirt, just below 3 the words ‘She’s a FIGHTER!’ “Are you ready, Mom?” 13-year-old daughter Julia asked, grinning at her mother with pride.
