You are not the same person you were when you attended your first class or stepped into the Popp Martin Student Union or the J. Murrey Atkins Library for the first time. In your time on campus, you have grown intellectually and have matured both emotionally and socially. 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 have witnessed important developments in the identity of this University that will strengthen its future and add to the value of your degree, including the opening of Levine Hall, bringing light rail to campus, and the groundbreaking of the science building. Chancellor Philip L. Dubois And, over the past eight months, you have demonstrated hope and resilience. We will never forget April 30, the lives of Reed and Riley, the injuries sustained by Rami, Sean, Emily, and Drew, and the impact of that day's incident on our entire community. With the comfort and encouragement of people and partners in Charlotte and across the globe, we’ve made it known that Niner Nation is stronger than ever, and in fact, We Are All Niners. I hope you will continue to grow in pride for your alma mater as the years go by. I hope that you continue to cherish the friendships and memories you made on campus. I speak for the entire UNC Charlotte community when I offer congratulations to each of you and to your steadfast family members and friends who have supported you throughout your UNC Charlotte journey. As you know, my journey as Chancellor will come to an end in June, as I will be retiring. It has been my honor and privilege to serve as Chancellor for the past 14 ½ years. UNC Charlotte is a special place, with outstanding faculty and staff, talented students, and loyal alumni and friends. And, the same can be said of this wonderful city, which my family and I have watched grow and develop in size and stature. I sincerely thank you for the support you have shown me. Today, you begin a new relationship with the University as a proud member of the UNC Charlotte Alumni Association, over 144,000 strong. Embrace this new identity and remember that wherever you go, you will always be a 49er! Cordially,

Philip L. Dubois Chancellor

3 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 . 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 MBA program for two years . 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 an alumni Michael L. Wilson 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 . Prior to joining Northwood Ravin, he was a Partner and Litigation Practice Group Leader at Johnston, Allison, & Hord, PA, with a practice concentrated in litigation related to commercial/business law, construction law, and real property .

He has since been named by the same publication as one of the top corporate attorneys in North Carolina . He was inducted into the UNC Charlotte Alumni Hall of Fame in 2013 . 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 Ms . 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 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 .

History of the University UNC Charlotte was one of a generation of institutions founded in metropolitan areas following World War II .

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 third largest public university with nearly 30,000 students enrolled in 75 bachelor's, 65 master's and 24 doctoral degree programs .

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 .
