It is indeed my pleasure to serve as your 2014 BAR chair and to represent the class of ’84 as we celebrate our 30th class reunion. I gladly accepted this role with a readiness to serve and to help ensure you have an amazing Homecoming experience. This weekend we will gather to network, fellowship and cultivate new friendships, while reconnecting with established ones. From hospitality events to the golf tournament to the football game, our weekend celebration will be one of exceptional enrichment and networking opportunities. After you enjoy the day’s events, get ready to dance, party and party some more – we host the only official UNC Homecoming parties. Of course the weekend would not be complete without our soul stirring inspirational service on Sunday. This weekend will be special and full of memories to relive for years to come. Congratulations to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and classes from the 1980s on winning this year’s Greek and Class Decade Challenge! These initiatives challenged members of Greek-letter organizations and classes by the decade to make tax-deductible gifts in honor of their sorority, fraternity and or class.

  • Executive Director's Report
    Executive Director’s Report Attachment G A MONTHLY UPDATE BY THE CAPITOL REGION EDUCATION COUNCIL October 2014 Executive Director’s In This Issue Message District and School News .......2-3 Bruce E. Douglas, Ph.D. Recognition and Honors ............ 4 “The cause of the growing opportunity and achievement Events and Updates.................5-8 divide [in the U.S.] is becoming clearer. In certain circles it has become fashionable to deride public schools as hopelessly inept, dragged down by incompetent teachers and stifling bureaucracies. For sure, many schools need to improve. But a close look at the data indicates that ever- widening achievement gaps are growing fastest outside of school. They are growing on suburban playing fields and and at robotics competitions, at after-school math programs and specialized sleep-away camps, and elbow to elbow with parents around dining room tables all across America. The class-based education gap is accelerating not because teachers are lazy or because America’s schools suddenly forgot how to churn out Horatio Alger success stories. And poor and working-class kids are not learning less than before, they are actually learning more. Instead, the class- based education gap is accelerating because upper-middle- class children are accelerating faster, pulling away from their less privileged peers thanks to increasingly engaged parents and a cottage industry of coaches, counselors, tutors, and trainers.” —Eric Schwarz “The Opportunity Equation: How Citizen Teachers Are Combating the Achievement Gap in America’s Schools” District and School News iPads Replacing Textbooks in Cromwell High School Classrooms CROMWELL—As part of its Freshmen In some cases, it has sparked what Academy program, the school Talty described as “device envy” on administration presented an iPad to the part of other students – and incoming freshmen.

  • Commencement [1990]
    C.3F78 l/Ll 188th COMMENCEMENT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL Sunday, May Thirteenth, Nineteen Hundred and Ninety A CORRECTED COPY OF UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE DEGREES MAY 13, 1990 INCLUDING DEGREES AWARDED AUGUST 14, 1989 AND DECEMBER 29 1989 FOR THE RECORD OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL H Greetings From The Chancellor Congratulations on the Accomplishment That Brings You To The 188th Commencement Exercises of The University of Nrrth Carolina at Chapel Hill. Degree candidates, relatives, faculty, friends, alumni — all share in the special joy and pride we today celebrate and honor. The achievements of today's degree recipients represent the University's greatest promise. I challenge each of you receiving a degree today to distinguish yourself as a member of the Carolina family, carrying the reputa- tion of UNC-Chapel Hill through your activities and accomplishments. You embody the elements of a sound and varied education: a critical mind, a discerning spirit, high values, a sense of commitment, and the privilege of service. Allow me to add a personal note about service. Not only is service a privilege, it is a noble calling. Be mindful that education is for a higher pur- pose than economic well-being. It instills within you the realization that suc- cess will be measured in part by your commitment to community and by the desire to make possible opportunities that meet or exceed those that others made possible for you. To the parents, faculty, counselors, religious leaders, and friends who have encouraged and challenged the students assembled here, sincere thanks for fostering the spirit, intellect and imagination that brought today's honorees to this moment.

  • ASCAP/BMI Comment
    Stuart Rosen Senior Vice President General Counsel November 20, 2015 Chief, Litigation III Section Antitrust Division U.S. Department of Justice 450 5th Street NW, Suite 4000 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Justice Department Review of the BMI and ASCAP Consent Decrees To the Chief of the Litigation III Section: BMI recently alerted its community of affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers to the profound impact 100% licensing would have on their careers, both creatively and financially, if it were to be mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. In a call to action, BMI provided a letter, one for songwriters and one for publishers, to which their signatures could be added. The response was overwhelming. BMI received nearly 13,000 signatures from writers, composers and publishers of all genres of music, at all levels in their careers. Some of the industry's most well- known songwriters added their names, including Stephen Stills, Cynthia Weil, Steve Cropper, Ester Dean, Dean Pitchford, Congressman John Hall, Trini Lopez, John Cafferty, Gunnar Nelson, Lori McKenna, Shannon Rubicam and Don Brewer, among many others. Enclosed you will find the letters, with signatures attached. On behalf of BMI, I strongly urge you to consider the voices of thousands of songwriters and copyright owners reflected here before making a decision that will adversely affect both the creators, and the ongoing creation of, one ofAmerica's most important cultural and economic resources. Vert truly yours, Stuart Rosen 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007-0030 (212) 220-3153 Fax: (212) 220-4482 E-Mail: [email protected] ® A Registered Trademark of Broadcast Music, Inc.
