  • 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.

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.

  • A Post-Silent Sam Look at UNC Public
    Cat cafe comes to town Get your heart purring with Chapel Hill’s soon- arriving business, featured on p. 5. 125 YEARS OF SERVING UNC STUDENTS AND THE UNIVERSITY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2018 VOLUME 126, ISSUE 34 A post-Silent Sam look at UNC public art Art pieces add to debate over what public art has meant and what it will look like By Maeve Sheehey Arts & Entertainment Assistant Editor Silent Sam is down, a giant spi- der stands in front of the New West building and people are questioning what UNC’s changing landscape says about the campus. While some say Silent Sam should be protected because of its artistic value, others argue that it makes a negative political statement. Additional controversial art pieces add to the debate over what public art has meant in the past and what it will look like going forward at UNC. The changing nature of pub- lic art UNC has added several statues and monuments since Silent Sam’s install- ment in 1913, including a ram statue meant to honor student athletes and the Unsung Founders Memorial, a table dedicated to “the people of color bound and free who helped build the Carolina that we cherish today.” Cary Levine, an associate professor of contemporary art, said the public art of recent years is becoming more likely to represent broader communi- ties of people and social movements, rather than specific figures. “I think that in terms of our ideas of what we’re memorializing, we’ve really moved past the idea of the great individual, the genius — and often those people are the great white male genius — as the epito- me of some kind of achievement, or DTH/HALEY HODGES some kind of victory, or some kind of accomplishment,” Levine said.
