Halton Arena Layout ...... 51 Greetings from the Chancellor To Our Graduates: Commencement marks a major transition for graduates . This is the culmination of your transformative journey here at UNC Charlotte . You are not the same person you were when you attended your first class or stepped through the doors of the Popp Martin Student Union or the J . Murrey Atkins Library for the first time . In your time on campus, your physical appearance may have changed . Lively classroom discussions and topics of study may have influenced your views on social, cultural, and political issues . You have had opportunities to interact with individuals from other cultures and to engage in the greater Charlotte community . You also have witnessed important developments in the identity of this institution that will strengthen its future and add to the value of your degree . What began as the Charlotte Center in 1946, humbly serving returning WWII veterans, has transformed into North Carolina’s urban research university and has become one of the great success stories in American higher education . Your alma mater will continue to evolve, and we hope you always will fondly recall your days here . As we close out the academic year, I am pleased to report that it was historic in many ways: Chancellor Philip L. Dubois • UNC Charlotte is firmly cementing its place among the top echelon of universities in the southeast region as evidenced by our record enrollment this year with 29,710 students, including 24,387 undergraduates . We have grown 43% over the past 14 years and are now the third-largest campus overall within the 17-campus UNC System, with the second largest number of undergraduates . The freshmen and transfer students who joined us this year continued to strengthen the already stellar academic credentials and diversity of our student body . • One of the exciting side effects of our continued enrollment growth is the steady stream of construction and renovation projects we have going on around campus . Since 2005, $1 .2 billion has been invested in capital projects to expand academic programs, improve student life, and enhance Charlotte 49er athletics . We recently completed construction of the Gage Undergraduate Admissions Center, we have begun clearing the land for construction of a new science facility and a UNC Charlotte Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, and we are beyond excited for the completion of the University Recreation Center this fall . • UNC Charlotte and 49er athletics welcomed Will Healy as the new head football coach . Healy, who is driven by the phrase “Everything you do, do it with passion, energy and enthusiasm,” has been charged with lifting our young, energetic, and enthusiastic football program to greater heights . During his three-year stint as head coach at Austin Peay State University, he engineered one of the greatest turnarounds in college football history . • "Exponential: The Campaign for UNC Charlotte," the largest private fundraising campaign in the University's history, has raised $170 million toward our $200 million goal . "Exponential" is advancing UNC Charlotte by providing scholarships to students and support for faculty, and by reaffirming our position as an economic engine for the Charlotte region . This campaign offers all of us–alumni, business leaders, and the University community– an opportunity to shape a future that is even more exciting than our past . I hope you will continue to grow in pride for your alma mater as the years go by and will sense that you have had a part in our success . We are happy to share this important day with you . I speak for all UNC Charlotte administrators, faculty, and staff when I offer congratulations to each of our new graduates and to your steadfast family members and friends who might have thought this day would never come . Graduates, let today commence a new relationship with UNC Charlotte in which you embrace your identity as a member of our alumni network . Wherever you go, you will always be a 49er! Cordially,

Philip L . Dubois Chancellor

The base is formed of a gold pine cone, with the lower portion of the staff carved of native walnut . The upper portion of the staff is formed in silver . Crowning the mace is a hornet’s nest in gold plate which sits on a large dogwood bloom . The mace was crafted by Barry Merritt of the Penland School of Crafts . Academic Regalia The gowns, hoods, and tassels worn in an academic ceremony designate the level of the degree, the academic discipline in which the degree was awarded, and the institution from which the degree was received . Medallions may indicate that the wearers have earned recognition for academic honors or that they are members of one or more student organizations . Styles of gowns may vary, but the doctoral gown is generally marked by velvet panels down the front, around the neck, and across the sleeves . Tassels may be black for any degree or in the color of the discipline in which the degree was awarded . Doctors and governing officials of institutions may wear tassels of gold metallic thread . The hood identifies the level of the degree, the discipline in which it was given, and the institution which awarded it . The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long, and the doctor’s hood is four feet long . The velvet trim on the hood is three inches wide for the master's and five inches for the doctor's . The design of the hood and color of its lining designate the discipline in which the degree was awarded .

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is committed to providing equal educational and employment opportunities for all members of the University community and for all those seeking to join the University community .

In case of an emergency, find the nearest campus police officer or commencement personnel.

James H . Woodward, Building for the Future Dr . James H . Woodward became UNC Charlotte’s third chancellor in 1989, immediately establishing himself as one of the leading executives of the Charlotte metropolitan region . A U .S . Air Force veteran, he worked in private industry and taught at NC State University, the U S. . Air Force Academy, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he was a senior vice president for academic affairs, prior to coming to UNC Charlotte . Under his leadership, UNC Charlotte launched ambitious plans for both physical and intellectual growth . Woodward built strong support among the region’s corporate and political leaders, obtained approval to expand the University’s mission to include doctoral programs, and raised the University to doctoral/ research intensive status . He established UNC Charlotte Uptown to serve students in the central business district . An engineer, Woodward generated support to build the James H . Barnhardt Student Activity Center and the Irwin Belk Track and Field Center, obtained state funding for doubling the size of Atkins Library, and was instrumental in garnering public support to pass a $3 .1 billion statewide bond referendum that enabled UNC Charlotte to construct or renovate nearly a dozen buildings . He retired in 2005 . Woodward has received numerous honors, including the naming of the science and technology building in 2005 as James H . and Martha H . Woodward Hall in recognition of his 16 years of service . In May 2011, UNC Charlotte awarded him an honorary degree, Doctor of Public Service . Woodward received the UNC Charlotte Alumni Association’s Alumnus by Choice Award in 2012 . In November 2017, he was awarded the North Carolina Award for Public Service, the highest award a civilian can receive from the Governor .

23 23 UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching Dr . Tony L . Schmitz Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science

Dr . Tony L . Schmitz, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science, invests significant time in his students both in and outside of the classroom . He has created an engaging environment for them to participate in collaborative learning and to work as a team to solve challenging, open- ended problems . For his efforts, Schmitz is the 2019 recipient of the UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching . The Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching was established in 1994 to underscore the importance of teaching and to encourage, identify, recognize, reward, and support good teaching within the University . This award is given annually to a tenured faculty member from each UNC campus . Winners must have taught at their present institutions for at least seven years . The 17 recipients were nominated by individual campus committees and selected by the Board of Governors Committee on Personnel and Tenure . Each award winner will receive a commemorative bronze medallion and a $12,500 cash prize . During Schmitz's seven years at UNC Charlotte, he has taught 10 different courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels . He said his role is to “train decision makers, not problem solvers ”. A shining example of his self- described, innovative pedagogy is a junior-level design course in which he explains to students: “Design requires creativity, and there is not just one correct answer ”. In 2014, Schmitz became associate chair for graduate programs, and he began revising the Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science Department’s master’s degree non-thesis option . Department Chair Scott Smith said that as a result of Schmitz’s leadership, the “department experienced almost a 70 percent increase in graduate enrollment, which was a testament to Tony’s innovative approach to graduate education and to his ability to inspire graduate students ”. Among Schmitz’s other numerous teaching and research awards are the 2017 inaugural North American Manufacturing Research Institution of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (NAMRI-SME) David Dornfeld Manufacturing Vision Award; UNC Charlotte’s 2013 William States Lee College of Engineering Undergraduate Award in Teaching Excellence; and the 2010 NAMRI-SME Outstanding Paper . This past fall, Schmitz was named the recipient of UNC Charlotte’s top teaching award, the Bank of America Award for Teaching Excellence . Known as the “pigskin professor,” Schmitz developed an Emmy-winning video series in collaboration with NBC Learn, the National Football League, and the National Science Foundation called “The Science of NFL Football ”. Prior to joining UNC Charlotte, Schmitz was a member of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida . A graduate of Temple University with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Schmitz completed a master’s degree and Ph D. . in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida .

History of the Alma Mater Creation of UNC Charlotte’s Alma Mater is rooted deep in the University’s history . It is part of the “Academic Festival March” that was composed for UNC Charlotte by James Helme Sutcliffe, a Charlotte composer and music critic who lived in Germany at the time . Dr . Loy Witherspoon, professor of religious studies, commissioned the march in 1965 after he learned Charlotte College would become a campus of the consolidated UNC system . The march was initially performed in 1967 for the installation of Dean W . Colvard as UNC Charlotte’s first chancellor . Afterward, it was performed as a recessional at every commencement held during Chancellor Colvard’s tenure . UNC Charlotte founder Bonnie Cone, upon hearing the march, remarked, “I can hear an alma mater in it,” referring to a hymn-like final refrain . Dr . Robert Rieke, a professor of history, also heard an alma mater in the march . During a 1990 trip to Germany, Rieke visited march composer Sutcliffe, where he picked up a recording of the march . Rieke began writing words to fit the final refrain . On Christmas Eve 1991, Rieke sent Bonnie Cone the words and music as a Christmas present to her and the University, from which he had retired a year earlier . Chancellor James H . Woodward approved Rieke’s composition as the University’s Alma Mater in April 1992 . It was sung for the first time at the following May commencement and has been performed at every commencement since .

The University Nickname - 49ers The "49ers" nickname was chosen in recognition of the importance of the year 1949 in the history of the University . UNC Charlotte, which began as an off-campus center of the University of North Carolina, would have died in 1949 had Bonnie Cone and her supporters not convinced the N C. . Legislature that Charlotte needed a permanent institution of higher learning . Charlotte College was established that year . It is fortuitous that the University campus is located on N C. . Highway 49 and that Charlotte has a rich gold mining history . A bronze statue of the 49er Gold Miner sits in the Cato College of Education and College of Health and Human Services Plaza . The statue recalls the region’s history as a gold mining center and symbolizes the pioneering spirit and determination that has led to UNC Charlotte’s dramatic growth .

A native of Oakland, California, Dubois attended the University of California, Davis, where he graduated with highest honors in 1972 with an undergraduate degree in political science . He then earned master’s (1974) and doctoral (1978) degrees in the field from the University of Wisconsin-Madison . Dubois began his academic career in 1976 at the University of California, Davis . Over the next fifteen years, he rose through the faculty ranks to full professor and held various administrative posts, including associate vice chancellor for academic affairs .

He left UNC Charlotte in 1997 to serve as president of the University of Wyoming, a post he held for eight years until returning to Charlotte .

Among the recent community recognitions for Dubois and UNC Charlotte are: Inclusion on the Charlotte Business Journal's list of "Most Admired CEOs" (2019) and on their list of "Who to Watch in 2019" (2018), the North Carolina Power 100 List (2018 and 2019), the Eileen Tosney Award for Career Service in Higher Education Leadership (2018), the Higher Education Civic Engagement Award from the Washington Center (2016), the World Affairs Council of Charlotte’s World Citizen Award (2016), the CASE III Inclusion and Diversity Leadership Award (2015), the Leo M .
