    OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We can’t imagine a more perfect show to give our 2016–2017 Season a great launch (if you’ll pardon the pun). New musicals are, of course, one of The Old Globe’s specialties, and the upcoming season is filled with exactly the kind of work the Globe does best. In this very theatre, you’ll have a chance to see a revival of Steve Martin’s hilarious Picasso at the Lapin Agile; the exciting backstage drama Red Velvet; and the imaginative, fable- like musical The Old Man and The Old Moon. And of course, we’re bringing back The Grinch for its 19th year! Across the plaza in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we hope you’ll join us for work by some of the most exciting voices in the American theatre today: award-winning actor/ songwriter Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), Globe newcomer Nick Gandiello (The Blameless), the powerful and trenchant Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew), and the ingenious Fiasco Theater, with their own particular spin on Molière’s classic The Imaginary Invalid. It’s a season we’re extremely proud and excited to share with all of you. DOUGLAS GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. We’re also proud to welcome the outstanding creative team that has made October Sky a reality. Director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell is an artist whose work we’ve long admired, whose skill in staging is matched by her deft touch with actors. She’s truly a perfect fit for this heartwarming and triumphant show.

  • Unc-Health-Proposal.Pdf
    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.
