Commencement [2008] Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/commencement20082008univ_0 COMMENCEMENT 2008 The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill SUNDAY, DECEMBER FOURTEENTH • TWO THOUSAND EIGHT MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR Dear Graduates: Congratulations on completing your degree. Dedication and hard work have brought you to this moment. Enjoy it, but also take the opportunity to thank the family and friends who sup- ported you during your journey. I know that they are proud of you, as are all of us at Carolina. I hope that your Carolina education challenged and inspired you, and that what you learned here in Chapel Hill prepared you to pursue your dreams. Today you join the ranks of Carolina alumni who have gone out into the world and made a difference. We know you will, too. The University's motto is light and liberty. When you leave Chapel Hill, you carry that light with you, and I hope it will help you transform the future. Nothing thrills us more than seeing our graduates go out and change the world. At my graduation in 1986, Senior Class President John Kennedy spoke about our prodigious consumption of pizza and cups of coffee. But he also talked about how our Carolina experience would stay with us forever. "Chapel Hill is more than just a place," he said, "it is a state of mind." No matter where you go, please remember that you have the love of all of us here at Carolina. Keep us in mind, let us know how we can help, and come back to visit. Hark the sound!

The Glee Club director asked Myers to put words to the tune "Amici," and the song was first performed on June 2,1897, as part of the Glee Club's Commencement performance in Gerrard Hall. Soon the song was almost forgotten. When a University quartet tried a few years later to remember the words, they could recollect only the first verse and the chorus of Myers' original version. Two members of the quartet, Charles S. Mangum and Charles T. Woollen, added two verses to the one they remembered. Mangum later became a professor in the School of Medicine, and Woollen worked as the University's business manager and comptroller. HARK THE SOUND Hark, the sound of Tar Heel voices Ringing clear and true, Singing Carolina's praises, Shouting N.C.U.! Hail to the brightest star of all! Clear its radiance shine! Carolina, priceless gem, Receive all praises thine. FOR YOUR INFORMATION If you have any questions regarding commencement activities, or in the event of an emergency, please contact an usher.

  • Lessons on Political Speech, Academic Freedom, and University Governance from the New North Carolina
    LESSONS ON POLITICAL SPEECH, ACADEMIC FREEDOM, AND UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE FROM THE NEW NORTH CAROLINA * Gene Nichol Things don’t always turn out the way we anticipate. Almost two decades ago, I came to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) after a long stint as dean of the law school in Boulder, Colorado. I was enthusiastic about UNC for two reasons. First, I’m a southerner by blood, culture, and temperament. And, for a lot of us, the state of North Carolina had long been regarded as a leading edge, perhaps the leading edge, of progressivism in the American South. To be sure, Carolina’s progressive habits were often timid and halting, and usually exceedingly modest.1 Still, the Tar Heel State was decidedly not to be confused with Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, or my home country, Texas. Frank Porter Graham, Terry Sanford, Bill Friday, Ella Baker, and Julius Chambers had cast a long and ennobling shadow. Second, I have a thing for the University of North Carolina itself. Quite intentionally, I’ve spent my entire academic career–as student, professor, dean, and president–at public universities. I have nothing against the privates. But it has always seemed to me that the crucial democratizing aspirations of higher education in the United States are played out, almost fully, in our great and often ambitious state institutions. And though they have their challenges, the mission of public higher education is a near-perfect one: to bring the illumination and opportunity offered by the lamp of learning to all. Black and white, male and female, rich and poor, rural and urban, high and low, newly arrived and ancient pedigreed–all can, the theory goes, deploy education’s prospects to make the promises of egalitarian democracy real.

But from Orville and Wilbur’s first flight to our basketball teams, North Carolina takes pride in being first. And as we introduced the idea of the North Carolina Science Festival, North Carolina responded enthusiastically. From elementary school students to transnational corporations, we found partners and supporters around every corner and an 413 174 appetite for science that heartened us. individual events unique events First, our state’s business community immediately saw (including repeat sessions) the Festival’s value and provided sponsorship dollars that helped us deliver a high-quality program of events. Without our sponsors, we would not have been able to present the Festival. All of our sponsors are very important to us, but 78 111 we think that the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, SAS and Time unique events Warner Cable & News 14 Carolina deserve special recognition program partners for having the faith in our vision to become Platinum Sponsors in the Piedmont in the very first year.

    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA HIGHER EDUCATION COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROGRAM FACILITIES INVENTORY AND UTILIZATION STUDY 2010 School of Pharmacy, Elizabeth City State University HIGHER EDUCATION COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROGRAM FACILITIES INVENTORY AND UTILIZATION STUDY FALL OF 2010 For THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA FORTY-FOURTH EDITION THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Facilities Space Utilization and Analysis Chapel Hill, North Carolina September 2011 School of Pharmacy Complex Elizabeth City State University (Cover Page) Starting in fall 2010, pharmacy students at the Elizabeth City site began taking their classes in a new 52,500 square foot building located at the west entrance to the ECSU campus. This $21.9 million, three story facility, whose architecture was inspired by the idea of an apothecary chest, overlooks an artificial pond and contains classrooms and labs organized around a two-story atrium. The first floor contains general science labs, a library, and a drug information center, while the second floor houses the IV simulation lab and the compounding lab. The third floor features three research labs for biochemistry, molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry, as well as a computer lab. Other classrooms, meeting rooms, and offices are distributed throughout the building to create a more collaborative environment for students, faculty, and staff. In the last decade, 45 of North Carolina’s 100 counties did not increase their supply of pharmacists rapidly enough to keep pace with population growth. Due to a need for more pharmacists in eastern North Carolina, the General Assembly allocated funds in 2004 for a new pharmacy program at Elizabeth City State University to be taught in conjunction with faculty located at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
