  • Ch 5 NC Legislature.Indd
    The State Legislature The General Assembly is the oldest governmental body in North Carolina. According to tradition, a “legislative assembly of free holders” met for the first time around 1666. No documentary proof, however, exists proving that this assembly actually met. Provisions for a representative assembly in Proprietary North Carolina can be traced to the Concessions and Agreements, adopted in 1665, which called for an unicameral body composed of the governor, his council and twelve delegates selected annually to sit as a legislature. This system of representation prevailed until 1670, when Albemarle County was divided into three precincts. Berkeley Precinct, Carteret Precinct and Shaftsbury Precinct were apparently each allowed five representatives. Around 1682, four new precincts were created from the original three as the colony’s population grew and the frontier moved westward. The new precincts were usually allotted two representatives, although some were granted more. Beginning with the Assembly of 1723, several of the larger, more important towns were allowed to elect their own representatives. Edenton was the first town granted this privilege, followed by Bath, New Bern, Wilmington, Brunswick, Halifax, Campbellton (Fayetteville), Salisbury, Hillsborough and Tarborough. Around 1735 Albemarle and Bath Counties were dissolved and the precincts became counties. The unicameral legislature continued until around 1697, when a bicameral form was adopted. The governor or chief executive at the time, and his council constituted the upper house. The lower house, the House of Burgesses, was composed of representatives elected from the colony’s various precincts. The lower house could adopt its own rules of procedure and elect its own speaker and other officers.

    March 16, 2020 Dear Partnership Advisory Group, New Hanover County Board of Commissioners, and New Hanover Regional Medical Center Board of Trustees: Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your request for proposal for a strategic partnership with New Hanover Regional Medical Center (NHRMC). We have long admired the quality care NHRMC provides for the citizens of southeastern North Carolina and your reputation for excellence. The partnerships UNC Health and NHRMC have fostered over many years have been productive for both of our systems and allowed each of us to further serve our missions. We have enjoyed learning in more detail about your organization through this RFP process. NHRMC’s co-workers, leaders, physicians and your community should be very proud of your health care system. To better understand NHRMC’s goals, we have attended your Partnership Advisory Group meetings and reviewed the materials provided to all respondents. After many discussions among our system leaders and our Board of Directors, we believe we understand NHRMC’s current situation and your desire to ensure your continued success for future generations. We would like to share our vision of how UNC Health could serve as a long-term partner. Our proposal reflects what we believe to be the best approach to meet the needs of NHRMC, your patients and your community. UNC Health proposes that we start our journey together through a significantly enhanced educational and research partnership, which we will refer to as our “academic partnership,” as well as a strengthened clinical partnership. This enriched relationship can evolve and expand over time, as NHRMC’s needs change.

  • Impact Report Fy 2015 2018
    FROM INKLING TO INNOVATION UNC Office of Technology Commercialization How faculty and staff at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill take FY 2015 IMPACT ideas to market and innovations to scale 2018 REPORT Office of Technology Commercialization Impact Report UNC Office of Technology Commercialization FY2015-18 Impact Report 2 One of the reasons I came to Carolina as a faculty member in 1995 is because of our University’s commitment to be the leading innovation and entrepreneurship center in higher education. Today, Carolina has created and nurtured a strong culture of innovation that is turning the knowledge of our faculty and students into practical solutions, taking valuable ideas to the inventive edge. Thanks to the dedication of Judith Cone and her team, we are working strategically, collaborating creatively and fully activating this culture of success. The ripple effect of this commitment is making a global impact: Talented researchers and those with entrepreneurial aspirations are moving more ideas, more rapidly and more effectively, into the world where this work has the greatest impact. We are far from done – Carolina is committed to innovation and entrepreneurship that boldly addresses our world’s most pressing challenges. KEVIN GUSKIEWICZ INTERIM CHANCELLOR, UNC-CHAPEL HILL One of the most important things that we can do for the people of North Carolina and the people of this country is to create that next big opportunity that is going to have a chance to change the world and make a difference in our lives. BOB BLOUIN EXECUTIVE VICE CHANCELLOR AND PROVOST, UNC-CHAPEL HILL As a public institution and leading research university, Carolina has an obligation to seek the answer to this question: How do we ensure that the great talent of our faculty, staff and students is put to its highest use? For UNC-Chapel Hill, that means doing everything we can to support our people as they uncover solutions that make a real difference to the citizens of North Carolina and the world.

She’d slept well, and even though it was raining, she was happy to be back in her hometown, running her seventh Boston Marathon. It had been almost six months since she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer, and she was still going through chemotherapy back home in Chapel Hill. But she was excited about the race, nervous to see if she could run the entire 26.2 miles. After Amy laced Remembering up her running shoes, she pinned the Michael O’Malley race bib onto her T-shirt, just below 3 the words ‘She’s a FIGHTER!’ “Are you ready, Mom?” 13-year-old daughter Julia asked, grinning at her mother with pride.

  • The North Carolina Botanical Garden at 50
    A Conservation Garden: The North Carolina Botanical Garden at 50 (1966-2016) Volume I Researched, compiled, and written by the North Carolina Botanical Garden Greenbriers February 2019 To the visionaries who came before us, the pragmatists who carried the vision forward, and the allies yet to come; and to past, present, and future seekers who find inspiration, encouragement, and solace at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. FOREWORD One would be hard pressed to walk into any botanical garden in the world and come across a compendium of historical information as complete as this one. What is even more amazing is that this compilation of the Garden’s 50-year history was authored by volunteers! Calling themselves the Greenbriers, this dedicated group of 12, under the able leadership of Joanne Lott, has spent countless hours researching, fact checking, and writing the definitive guide to the first 50 years of the North Carolina Botanical Garden. As you peruse Volume I from the Introduction to the Reference Timeline, perhaps even delve into the Volume II appendices, you will quickly come to the realization that this history goes much deeper than the last 50 years. Indeed, the story of the North Carolina Botanical Garden is the botanical legacy of the University of North Carolina, the nation’s oldest public university. Like the entangling Greenbrier vine, the two have been intertwined and inseparable since 1903 when the University’s first professor of botany, William Chambers Coker, established a teaching collection of trees and shrubs on campus which later became the Coker Arboretum. The Garden has many other branches that can trace their origin to the Coker legacy, including Battle Park, the UNC Herbarium, the Coker Pinetum, and The Rocks at the Coker/Burns estate.
