The scholarship in memory of Dean Emeritus & Professor of Law George R. Johnson, Jr., will be awarded to students who have a commitment to promoting the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Law and within the legal profession.

To honor their late son Joey, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ parents Mike and Karen Brocato P’16 have endowed a Teaching Fellows scholarship to support students studying special education. Their gift to the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign will also create a second Teaching Fellows scholarship for students pursuing teaching in a STEM field.

The generous estate gift from The Rev. Joyce Myers-Brown ’59 of Atlanta will deepen funding for a scholarship she established in 2011 to increase access to global study. The gift is part of A Will to Lead, a special initiative of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign to encourage donors to include the university in their estate plans.

A Burlington home near ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ will benefit the campus community through the generosity of a local family with a distinguished reputation in North Carolina’s legal and business communities. 

Members of the more than 50 families who supported the project were joined by university leaders on Saturday to formally dedicate the 80-room hotel that opened in January 2020.

The race, now in its seventh year at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, was held virtually from Sept. 18 through Oct. 10.

President Connie Ledoux Book announced alumni Priscilla Awkard ’95, Christian Wiggins ’03, Maity Interiano ’07 and Jack McMackin ’08 as the new co-chairs of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign, sending a powerful message about the importance of alumni leading ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s future.

Josh Norris '11 and his father, Robert, have created an endowment to provide scholarship assistance to make internships possible for students in ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ's School of Communications.

The longtime ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ leader and benefactor passed away Aug. 21.

The generous commitment brings fundraising for phase one of the project to more than $1.5 million as part of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign. The renovations will transform ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s baseball facility and one of the university’s most successful athletics programs.
