    Mccorkle PLACE

    CHAPTER EIGHT: McCORKLE PLACE McCorkle Place is said to be the most densely memorialized piece of real estate in North Carolina.501 On the University’s symbolic front lawn, there are almost a dozen monuments and memorials fundamental to the University’s lore and traditions, but only two monuments within the space have determined the role of McCorkle Place as a space for racial justice movements.502 The Unsung Founders Memorial and the University’s Confederate Monument were erected on the oldest quad of the campus almost a century apart for dramatically different memorial purposes. The former honors the enslaved and freed Black persons who “helped build” the University, while the latter commemorated, until its toppling in August 2018, “the sons of the University who entered the war of 1861-65.”503 Separated by only a few dozen yards, the physical distinctions between the two monuments were, before the Confederate Monument was toppled, quite striking.

    ACP Business Pacemaker Application AUGUST 17, 2020 SECTION 1: FIVE FACTORS FOR SUCCESS STRATEGIC FOCUS Leadership, management planning and innovation Describe in detail how your organization followed its mission statement in developing your strategic plans for the year. Our mission is to train students fully and deeply on all aspects of running a news organization and to serve the UNC community with news and information that they need. To achieve this mission, we as an organization have established four overarching goals that serve as the basis of DTH Media Co.’s strategic plans for the year, which include: becoming an indispensable, trusted guide to UNC and life for students; growing consumer and institutional revenue, diversifying and strengthening our business-to-business revenue; and shifting to audience-centric practices across the organization. Our strategic plans for the year fell under the overall progression toward these goals, and in turn, our mission. Some of those strategic plans included: increasing return visits and pages per visit by the 18 to 24 year-old demographic; increasing overall fundraising revenue, applying for grants and hiring a fundraising and donor engagement specialist to assist with these efforts; moving into a consultative selling model within our 1893 Brand Studio and advertising departments; and developing diverse news products beyond solely print news. These plans were created to ensure the progression of a sustainable news organization that can both serve the UNC community and teach students how to produce news in ways that remain both relevant and helpful to the consumer. SECTION 1 Describe in detail how your organization users leadership training to prepare top student leaders for their positions and department management.

    BOT Meeting – Saunders Hall Discussion Speakers: Alston Gardner

    Project: BOT Meeting – Saunders Hall Discussion Speakers: Alston Gardner – Board of Trustees Chuck Duckett – Board of Trustees Taylor Webber-Fields – The Real Silent Sam Coalition Dylan Su-Chan Mott – The Real Silent Sam Coalition Omololu Babatunde – The Real Silent Sam Coalition Frank Pray – UNC College Republicans Dr. Al Brophy – UNC School of Law (via video) Dr. Jim Leloudis – UNC Department of History Dr. Deborah Stroman – Black Faculty and Staff Caucus Professor Eric Muller – UNC School of Law Arch Allen – UNC Alum Sam Fulwood – UNC Alum INTRODUCTIONS A. Gardner: Last spring a group of students, the real Silent Sam Coalition, gathered 800 names on a petition calling for the removal of William L. Saunders’ name from Saunders Hall. We invited the group to present their petition to the board in May of 2014 at the University Affairs Committee. Since then, Trustee Duckett and I have been busy studying the issue over the last several months. Today we will do three things. First we will share with the committee and the board and the public what we have learned, what we’ve been doing. Secondly, as part of the Chancellor’s Carolina Conversations Initiative, we will lead a conversation on race and place at UNC. We’ll hear from eight speakers with a variety of viewpoints, including several students. At the conclusion of the speakers, we will announce a community-wide online forum to collect additional comments, input and proposals on how we might address those issues. Let me say that we applaud the passion and the leadership on this issue from our students.

    Strategic Plan, 2004-2007

    North Carolina Botanical Garden – Strategic Plan – 2010-2012 1 North Carolina Botanical Garden Strategic Plan 2010-2012 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill I. Introduction The North Carolina Botanical Garden’s first strategic plan (2005-2007) was the result of a series of planning sessions, focus groups, and discussions facilitated by Richard Daley of EMD Consulting Group, LLC. Much has changed since that planning period: a new 31,000 sq ft building, the Education Center, which began construction in November 2007, opened in the fall of 2009. This project also reconfigured circulation, parking, and outdoor garden spaces and closed the segment of Laurel Hill Road that long separated our display collections from visitor parking. The roadbed has been replaced with parking, paths, and beds for new gardens. The 2010-2012 Strategic Plan will guide the first years of operation of the new facilities and gardens. The next projects in our long-term development plan include the planting of new garden collections around the Education Center, a facility to house the UNC Herbarium, the renovation of the Totten Center as a base for our horticultural department, the upgrading of the Forest Theatre to facilitate its use in performing arts, continued work to assure the conservation of the lands we manage, and continued work to secure the conservation of lands adjacent to our natural areas. As in 2005-2007, the 2010-2012 strategic plan includes statements of: Mission and Vision Core Values Sustainable Competitive Advantage Institution-wide Goals Objectives The Mission, Vision, Core Values, Sustainable Competitive Advantage, and Institution-wide Goals are the foundations of the institution.

  • Tips for New Faculty

    Tips for New Faculty

    Tips for New Faculty Charles Kuralt provided a sense of the Carolina aura when he said: What is it that binds us to this place as to no other? It is not the well or the bell or the stone walls. Or the crisp October nights or the memory of dogwoods blooming. Our loyalty is not only to William Richardson Davie, though we are proud of what he did 200 years ago today. Nor even to Dean Smith, though we are proud of what he did last March. No, our love for this place is based on the fact that it is, as it was meant to be, the University of the people. UNC Bicentennial, 1993 While Kuralt was speaking about UNC’s relationship to the people of North Carolina, his words also hold true for the people who make up the campus community in relation to one another. People on this campus care about one another, their departments and schools, the campus as a whole. Students matter. Colleagues matter. As a faculty member new to Carolina, you matter. When current faculty members were asked what advice they would give faculty new to Carolina, they were quick to respond and eloquent in their responses. This essay brings together their ideas, addressing key areas of faculty life. As the tips were received, they were categorized into the following areas, teaching, research, mentoring/ relationships/connections, becoming part of the community, and balancing competing demands. Teaching A significant part of most new faculty members’ time will be spent in the classroom. Teaching is an important part of the mission of UNC and provides students the opportunity to interact with and learn from some of the top scholars in the world.
