2 UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees

Michael Wilson ’93 has served on the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees since 2012 . That service has included multiple terms as chair of both the Athletics and the Academic and Student Affairs Committees . He also served three consecutive terms as vice chair of the board prior to being elected board chair in July 2019 . During his first year as board chair, Wilson also served as chair of the Chancellor Search Committee . In addition to Wilson’s service on the Board of Trustees, he has also actively served the University as a part of the Alumni Association Board of Directors, the Liberal Arts & Sciences Advisory Council, and in the University’s scholarship student interview and awards process . Prior to his service on the Board of Trustees, Wilson taught business law as an adjunct professor in the UNC Charlotte Master of Business Administration program for two years . Michael L. Wilson Wilson’s history of continuous service and dedication to the University began during his time as a student . While at UNC Charlotte, he served as student body president during his junior year, where he played a critical role in working with the students, the University, and the North Carolina Legislature to bring the James H . Barnhardt Student Activity Center/Dale F . Halton Arena to fruition . Wilson also served as a student alumni ambassador during his undergraduate studies and held the William H . Barnhardt Merit Scholarship and the Alumni Merit Scholarship . Upon graduation, Wilson was awarded the Bill Mitchell Award, which is now called the Bonnie E . Cone Leadership Award . This award is presented to a member of each graduating class whose leadership, scholarship, and service to the University embodies the spirit of Bonnie Cone, the founder of the University who devoted her life to the development of UNC Charlotte . Wilson holds a law degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and currently serves as the Vice President and General Counsel of Northwood Ravin, LLC, a commercial real estate company with holdings throughout the southeast .

As a first-generation college student who needed a scholarship to attend college, Wilson credits UNC Charlotte with making that possible . He notes, “I have never forgotten the opportunity I was given and the pointed question put to me by Miss Bonnie: ‘Is it more important to you to be a part of something that someone built for you, or is it more important to be a part of building something yourself?’” For Mike Wilson, the answer was that he wanted to be a part of building something at this University for current and future generations of students . Wilson and his wife, Anna Schleunes, reside in Charlotte with their two sons . The UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees also includes Susan D. DeVore, Vice Chair; Dennis N. Bunker III, Secretary; Sharon Allred Decker; Theresa J. Drew; Christine P. Katziff; J. Brett Keeter; Fred W. Klein, Jr.; David W. Mildenberg; Mary Ann Rouse; Carlos E. Sanchez; Teross W.

3 UNC Charlotte Bell

The UNC Charlotte Bell, which for many years hung in the belfry of the old Elizabeth School at East Fifth Street and Travis Avenue in Charlotte, was given to Charlotte College in 1960 to be rung on ceremonial occasions .

It has been rung on special occasions such as March 2, 1965, when Charlotte College became the fourth branch of the University of North Carolina System and on August 11, 2010, to celebrate clearing the final hurdle to field UNC Charlotte's football team .

Commencement Bell Ringers The ringing of the UNC Charlotte Bell at Commencement is an honorable tradition that recognizes an outstanding student leader who has demonstrated exemplary 49er spirit .

The student leaders chosen to ring the bell for the May 2021 Commencement Ceremonies areDrew B . Pescaro (Friday morning), Jenna M . Basel (Friday evening), and Makenzie A . Elam (Saturday morning) .

Turning of the Tassel In earlier times, universities awarded each graduate a hood signifying their academic station . Over the years, the hood for undergraduates has been replaced by a tassel . Tradition requires that before graduation the tassel is worn on the right hand side of the cap . After graduation, as a symbol of our new status as degree holders, the tassel is worn on the left .

Alexis M . Bethea, 2020-2021 Senior Class President, will lead the May 2021 candidates in the turning of the tassel .

Bonnie E . Cone, Our Founder (1907-2003) Bonnie E . Cone, the founder of UNC Charlotte, served the institution from its earliest days in 1946 . Beginning as a teacher that year, she became director of the Charlotte Center of the University of North Carolina in 1947 . She persuaded the legislature to keep the institution alive in 1949 when it was scheduled to close, resulting in the establishment of Charlotte College, which she served as president . The college became a four-year, state-supported institution in 1963 . Cone was given her greatest acclaim for leading the successful campaign to convert Charlotte College into The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1965 . She then served as vice chancellor for student affairs until her official retirement . Cone died March 8, 2003 . In spring 2004, she was interred in Van Landingham Glen on the campus she loved and to which she dedicated her life .

4 Explanation of Honors Programs, Merit Scholars, and Academic Distinction Honors: The Honors College at UNC Charlotte provides students robust experiences crossing academic, cultural, community, and personal contexts, including undergraduate research, engagement with cultural variety, and the creation of community within the University and across the Charlotte metropolitan area . We support students as they become agents of their own vision, developing intellectually, culturally, and civically .

In all aspects of the Honors College experience, faculty, staff, and students embody: • Intellectual curiosity and growth • Collaboration and mutual investment in excellence as scholar citizens • Diversity, inclusion, and equitable access • Integrity and trustworthiness • Treating all with dignity and respect

University Honors Program: Directly administered by the Honors College, the University Honors Program (UHP) is the oldest and largest multi-year honors program at UNC Charlotte, welcoming students from any major . As an interdisciplinary honors program, UHP encourages students to integrate learning from multiple academic disciplines with their own lived experiences to create new knowledge that is more than just the sum of its parts . Our students are also committed to putting their learning into practice through community-engaged coursework and program- wide service, enrichment, and social opportunities . To graduate with University Honors, a student must: complete all program requirements, including honors coursework; maintain a 3 .0 cumulative grade point average and a 3 .2 grade point average in honors courses; and receive a grade of "A" on the honors capstone thesis or project .

Department/College Honors: To graduate with honors recognition in a department or college honors program, a student will be recommended by the program’s honors committee if they meet the grade point averages required (i .e ., cumulative, in the department/college, and in honors courses), as well as complete the following: • All required honors courses • An honors capstone thesis or project, and receive an "A" for that course • Any additional requirements specified by the program

Dual Honors: Students must complete requirements for both University Honors and a department/college honors program .

Merit Scholarships: Albert Scholars, Crown Scholars, Freeman Scholars, Johnson Scholars, Levine Scholars, and Martin Scholars are recipients of major four-year merit scholarships funded by University donors . Students participate in programming that fosters intellectual, social, and civic engagement and must continue to meet all scholarship conditions . https://levinescholars .uncc .edu, https://honorscollege .uncc .edu/about-us/merit-scholarships

Graduation with Honors: Honors and merit scholars receive a notation on their transcript and a certificate . Honors and merit scholars graduation regalia includes custom-designed medallions and stoles denoting the honors and merit scholars programs .

Graduation with Academic Distinction: Undergraduate degrees are awarded Summa Cum Laude when the graduate’s cumulative grade point average is 3 .9 to 4 .0, Magna Cum Laude when the grade point average is 3 7. or above but less than 3 .9, and Cum Laude when the grade point average is 3 .4 or above but less than 3 .7 . To be eligible to graduate with academic distinction, a student must earn a grade point average computed on at least 48 semester hours of credit completed in residence at UNC Charlotte . Honor cord colors are green/white for Summa Cum Laude graduates, white for Magna Cum Laude graduates, and green for Cum Laude graduates .

The commencement program must be prepared in advance. Therefore, all notations for honors are based upon student achievements as of the preceding term and are tentative. Final determination of graduation with honors or with distinction is made upon completion of the student’s final term.

7 Greetings From The Undergraduate Graduating Class Emily A . Abbate Candidate for Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering What did the electrical engineer have for breakfast? An ohmlette . All jokes aside for those of you who do not know me, my name is Emily Abbate, and I am both honored and humbled to be speaking with you all today . I want to first thank the College of Engineering for selecting me to speak today . Thank you to the ECE faculty for fostering a love and appreciation of engineering that will last lifetimes over . I want to thank my family, those chosen and blood, who have given their support and encouragement over these last five years . And finally, I would like to thank my high school calculus teacher for encouraging me to become an engineer in the first place . Look guys, I made it! I want to take a moment to celebrate with the Spring 2021 graduates . We did it! Over the past five years, UNC Charlotte has taught me a multitude of lessons about myself and the world around me . However, I think the most powerful lesson I have learned is the value of resilience . In my freshman engineering 1201 class, I was first introduced to the concept of grit . My professor at the time explained to me that intelligence and natural charisma can only get you so far in life . The world’s most successful people have an extra power, an ability to persevere regardless of the circumstances and achieve their goals .

I must admit, during the time, I didn’t appreciate the message, but now I do . During the past four, or five years, we have faced loss, hardship, and unique challenges unlike college students before us . On April 30, 2019, our community was attacked by an armed assailant resulting in the deaths of Riley Howell and Reed Parlier . Not even a year later, our campus was shut down as a wave of uncertainty known as the coronavirus pandemic washed over our country . But through all this uncertainty and upheaval, UNC Charlotte came together as a community to grieve, comfort one another, find a path forward, and elevate ourselves to successfully transition to our future careers . We learned how to use Webex, and then Zoom . We created discord servers to communicate with each other . We never kept our eyes off the prize, and here we are today with the whole world in front of us . Not only are we college graduates, but we are resilient, strong, compassionate college graduates . We do not fear failure, because we have faced the worst circumstances and have succeeded . The degree you receive today is a testament to each of you and your individual will power, grit, and resilience . So, in all of your future endeavors, whenever you hear that voice in your head that says you are not good enough or strong enough . I want you to remember that we all have graduated from college in the middle of a pandemic . I want you to remember the lives of Reed and Riley . I want you to remember that you have survived and thrived despite the challenging times we are facing . Those unique challenges have made us stronger, more creative, and have bestowed us with grit . We are truly prepared for anything life can throw at us . Let us celebrate and remember all that we are truly capable of .

23 Greetings From The Undergraduate Graduating Class Kelsey A . Lane Candidate for Bachelor of Science Health Systems Management and Bachelor of Science in Public Health

Greetings to the class of 2021, parents, families, faculty, and staff joining us here and virtually . It is an honor and privilege to be here today . When I say honor and privilege, I really mean that . The past few years have dealt us challenge after challenge, obstacle after obstacle, and opportunity after opportunity . To name a few, this graduating class has experienced a major snowstorm, a massive tragedy, a pandemic, a national fight against racial injustices, and well, the rest of regular college challenges outside of those, too . It’s been a lot to handle . But, you don’t need me to tell you that . I’m not here today to remind us where we’ve been . I’m here to remind you of all that we have overcome, and how bright our future is because of the very people sitting before me .

Each person here has taken a different journey to get to where they are today . Each person knows something that others don’t . Class of 2021, you are incredibly special . Hear me when I say this: YOU are important to this world . Yes you, green cap and gown . Your unique abilities that got you to this moment today are needed in this world . There’s a story from a book by Jen Sincero that tells of a woman who walks many miles everyday with two clay pots to fetch water . When she arrives home, one pot is full of water and the other is nearly empty . The nearly empty pot has a crack in it and feels sad that it is not doing as good of a job as the other pot . However, the woman thinks this cracked pot is doing a fantastic job, as she explains her tedious walk to fetch the water is now lined with the most beautiful flowers, plants, and scenery thanks to the dripped water from the cracked pot . Similarly, think of your unique qualities, like the clay pot, as fostering flowers . You get to decide from this day forward - what kind of flowers, plants and scenery am I planting? Your self-perceived “imperfections” are part of what makes you unique and awesome . From this momentous day forward, I hope you choose to see failures as lessons, setbacks as opportunities, imperfections as beauty, and your unique and special characteristics as just that . Unique and special to you, to me, and to the world . Congratulations, class of 2021 . We finally did it!

Raleigh Cum Laude 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 .

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 .

39 UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching Dr . Heather M . Coffey Middle, Secondary and K-12 Education 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 . As a teacher of future teachers, Professor Heather Coffey feels a responsibility to set high expectations for her students and to model the respect and appreciation for diversity that can lead to rich discussion and impactful learning . For her efforts, Coffey is the recipient of the 2021 UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching .

Heather encourages a social justice mindset in her students and gets to know her students so they are comfortable sharing concerns about teaching in environments that do not mirror their own experiences . “She knows everyone’s name and face and talks to us specifically about our work . Dr . Coffey is as willing to learn from her students as she is to teach them, which I admire as a future teacher,” said freshman student Margaret Pearce, who was one of 150 students in Heather’s class . Heather seeks to develop in her students a disposition and understanding to realize that school classrooms can become transformative spaces for social change . “The crux of my teaching philosophy requires that I create a classroom space where students feel that they are heard and respected, and are able to share their honest opinions and questions without being judged or criticized,” Heather says . “Supporting the needs of pre-service and practicing teachers of diverse students has not only become my job, it has become my passion . I feel an immense sense of responsibility both to the teacher candidates with whom I work and to the P-12 students they will eventually teach ”. Heather, who is a former middle school and high school educator and the 2018 recipient of the Bonnie E . Cone Early-Career Professorship in Teaching, has made significant contributions in her 11 years at UNC Charlotte . She makes strong community connections through her work, which was recognized in 2018 when she received the Cato College of Education’s Annual Faculty Award for Sustained Service to Public Schools . A former N .C . Teaching Fellow, Heather designed the new model for the Teaching Fellows program and became the director in 2018 . In fall 2020, Coffey was named the recipient of UNC Charlotte’s top teaching award, the Bank of America Award for Teaching Excellence .

40 Greetings From The Graduate School Rashum Jawaid Candidate for Master of Business Administration I dedicate this speech to my mother, Tasnim Jawaid, who I lost one year from today. Without her unconditional love, support, and faith in me, I would not be here today.

Leap of Faith, act of believing in or accepting something outside the boundaries of reason: Three years ago, I took a leap of faith . The leap of faith began with a strong conviction, a fundamental trust and a basic belief that I was capable of achieving more in life . In pursuit of more, I applied to graduate school with a persistent desire to do more for myself and others . I believed if I could do more, I could give more, and if I could give more, I could make a larger impact that extended beyond myself . This act of betterment would not only benefit me but benefit the broader, commonly shared community . It is this very act of becoming a better version of myself that led me to UNC Charlotte for a second time .

Uncharted Territory, act of discovering the new and the unknown potential within: While on the graduate school journey, I encountered doubts, obstacles, and even lost a loved one . Every graduate here has encountered their own set of challenges: the tragic loss and injury of student lives on our campus, the political and social unrest in our nation, the events leading up to and after the 2020 presidential election and the global pandemic whose ripple effects we still feel today . We are living in unprecedented times and yet we did not merely survive but we excelled - this is why we are here today . We excelled displaying grit and resilience . The courage to believe in ourselves, our capabilities, our strengths, and our dreams is perhaps the greatest gift we received along the way . I would be remiss if I stood here before you claiming we earned our degrees because of our individual efforts . I believe it is the relentless support, continuous encouragement, professional guidance, and positive reinforcement we received from everyone here that carried us throughout our journey . It is the people that carried us to the finish line not the books . I remember walking into my very first MBA class at the Center City campus located in Uptown seeing a board full of derivatives, statistics, and econ formulas . With sheer apprehension, I went to the professor during office hours and told him I think I’ve made a mistake - I should quit . My professor told me the class he was teaching today was the hardest class he took as a student in his graduate program . He inspired me to continue the program . It is others who often see – well before we do – what possibilities live inside of us . I can say with certainty at that moment my professor believed in me more than I believed in myself . It was this belief that carried me through the first semester and every semester that followed . Throughout the MBA program, I encountered similar voices everytime I was on campus . Voices of upliftment, motivation and ambition . The more I heard these voices, the more they resonated with me and my one basic belief - I was capable of achieving more . The graduate journey is a learning process where you are developing as a person in parallel to developing as a professional . You experience both wins and losses . That’s both normal and okay . The key is you learn from the mistakes and use the lessons to get better . When you find yourself stumbling, you lean on those around you . The more I leaned on my peers, the more I saw them as an indispensable resource in my learning and making it all click . The Beginning, every ending is a new beginning: While I look forward to solving complex business and societal problems with the tools I have learned in my classes, I am even more excited about the endless possibilities this degree will open for me . I stand here reminding you what you already know . Always have the courage to dream bravely . Just like you achieved this milestone, you are capable of achieving the next milestone in your path . The word commencement literally means the beginning . Today is the beginning of our new professional lives in our diverse spheres of influence, a beginning of our dreams that can now translate into reality, a beginning of our purpose and legacy building, a beginning of our becoming, becoming even more than who we are today . I ask you to embrace this new beginning with the same fierceness and perseverance you displayed during your graduate journey . When you encounter fear inside or obstacles outside, remind yourself of the voices of reason that you discovered here at UNC Charlotte . I have no doubt these voices that were our wings during our graduate journey will be the wings that will ascend us to great heights in the future .

Huet, Advisor Tsing-Hua Her, Advisor History of the University UNC Charlotte was one of a generation of institutions founded in metropolitan areas following World War II . Created as the Charlotte Center, the institution opened on September 23, 1946 . It offered evening classes to an initial class of 278 freshmen and sophomores in the facilities of Charlotte's Central High School . In 1949, the city's pioneering business and civic leaders, aware of the region’s unmet need for a public institution of higher education, moved to have the Charlotte Center taken over by the city This 1961 photo shows the first two buildings on the Charlotte College school district and operated as Charlotte College, offering campus. Kennedy (left) and Macy shared space with an old barn. the first two years of college courses . By 1961, the firmly established Charlotte College was experiencing rapid growth that resulted in the establishment of a campus of its own . In the same year, Charlotte College leaders moved its burgeoning student population into the first two buildings on what would become a 1,000-acre campus ten miles from downtown Charlotte . In 1963, the North Carolina legislature approved bills making Charlotte College a four-year, state-supported institution . In 1965, the legislature passed bills designating the College the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the fourth campus of the consolidated state system . Expansion continued as the University began offering master’s degrees in 1969 . In 1992, UNC Charlotte received authorization for its first doctoral programs . Today, UNC Charlotte is the state’s urban research institution and the system's second largest public university with greater than 30,000 students enrolled in 77 bachelor's, 65 master's and 24 doctoral degree programs .

The University Logo UNC Charlotte's logo has become one of the Charlotte region's most distinctive insignia . It symbolizes the University's links to the UNC System, the Charlotte metropolitan region, and the discipline of learning . The logo is suggestive of a “crown,” reminiscent of Queen Charlotte, for whom the city of Charlotte is named . The “crown” also can be interpreted as a lamp of learning, a burning bush, an open book, the flowering of a plant or an individual, or a graduate in cap and gown . The letters “UNC” refer to the University of North Carolina, which opened in 1795 as the nation's first public university . The word “Charlotte” not only refers to the city but also to the surrounding metropolitan region .
