 Greetings from the Chancellor
To Our Graduates:
Today marks a major milestone for you, as we celebrate the culmination of your
transformative journey as a UNC Charlotte student. 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

 To Our Guests
To help ensure that the ceremony is conducted in a dignified manner, family members and others attending are
asked to remain in their seats during the ceremony. Aisles must be kept clear, and videography and still photography
are not allowed at the railings or on the arena floor. Only graduates, faculty, authorized staff, and news media will
be allowed on the floor before and during the ceremony.
A DVD will be produced by GradImages showing segments of the commencement ceremony and every graduate
being congratulated. GradImages will also produce still photographs of each graduate. GradImages will contact all
graduates concerning purchase of the DVD and photographs. Graduates may check their UNC Charlotte email
account the Tuesday following Commencement to see digital photographic proofs. Further information is available
online at www.gradimages.com.

Names are meant to be heard as graduates walk across the stage. We ask guests to be kind and courteous when you hear
your graduate's name. Please be respectful with applause so that all names can be heard at Commencement.

Procession
The University Marshal will lead the procession, followed by the degree candidates, faculty, department chairs,
platform party, and the Chancellor.

The Mace
The mace, carried by the University Marshal, is an ancient symbol of authority dating to 14th-century Europe. The
UNC Charlotte mace includes symbols relating to the institution’s history and its setting in North Carolina and
Mecklenburg County. The base is formed as a gold pine cone, with the lower portion of the staff carved of native
walnut. The upper portion of the staff is formed in silver. Crowning the mace is a hornet’s nest in gold plate which
sits on a large dogwood bloom. The mace was crafted by Barry Merritt of the Penland School of Crafts.

Academic Regalia
The gowns, hoods, and tassels worn in an academic ceremony designate the level of the degree, the academic
discipline in which the degree was awarded, and the institution from which the degree was received. Medallions
may indicate that the wearers have earned recognition for academic honors or that they are members of one or
more student organizations.

Styles of gowns may vary, but the doctoral gown is generally marked by velvet panels down the front, around the
neck, and across the sleeves.

Tassels may be black for any degree or in the color of the discipline in which the degree was awarded. Doctors and
governing officials of institutions may wear tassels of gold metallic thread.

The hood identifies the level of the degree, the discipline in which it was given, and the institution which awarded
it. The master’s hood is three and one-half feet long, and the doctor’s hood is four feet long. The velvet trim on the
hood is three inches wide for the master's and five inches for the doctor's. The design of the hood and color of its
lining designate the discipline in which the degree was awarded.

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is committed to providing equal educational and employment
opportunities for all members of the University community and for all those seeking to join the University
community.

In case of an emergency, find the nearest campus police officer or commencement personnel.

 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. In 2009, Business North Carolina magazine named Wilson the state’s top attorney for construction law.
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 UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees also includes Susan D. DeVore, Vice Chair; Dennis N. Bunker III, Secretary;
Sharon Allred Decker; Theresa J. Drew; Christine P. Katziff; J. Brett Keeter; Fred W. Klein, Jr.; David W. Mildenberg;
Mary Ann Rouse; Carlos E. Sanchez; Teross W. Young, Jr.; and Chandler A. Crean, Student Body President.

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.

 UNC Charlotte Bell
The UNC Charlotte Bell, which for many years hung in the belfry
of the old Elizabeth School at East Fifth Street and Travis Avenue
in Charlotte, was given to Charlotte College in 1960 to be rung on
ceremonial occasions.

It has been rung on special occasions such as March 2, 1965, when

Charlotte College became the fourth branch of the University of North
Carolina System and on August 11, 2010, to celebrate clearing the final
hurdle to field UNC Charlotte's football team.

Student Commencement Bell Ringers

The ringing of the UNC Charlotte Bell at Commencement is an honorable tradition that recognizes an outstanding
student leader who has demonstrated exemplary 49er spirit.
The student leaders chosen to ring the bell for the Fall 2019 Commencement Ceremonies are Ta'Jalik N. Morgan
(Friday afternoon), Samruddhi A. Godbole (Saturday morning), and Ashley N. Rankin (Saturday afternoon).

Student Commencement Speakers

Greetings from the Fall 2019 graduating class will be given by Tiffany M. Morris (Friday afternoon),
Yuliya A. Svarishchuk (Saturday morning), and Natalie G. Mount (Saturday afternoon). They were chosen as
Student Commencement Speakers through a competitive process. All graduating seniors are invited to submit
applications and speeches for this honor. To be selected, a candidate must be a graduating student of high
academic achievement and demonstrate excellent character through leadership, service, and school spirit. The
selected candidates represent their peers in an articulate and meaningful way by reflecting on their experiences
and education at UNC Charlotte.

Bonnie E. Cone, Our Founder

(1907-2003)
Bonnie E. Cone, the founder of UNC Charlotte, served the institution
from its earliest days in 1946. Beginning as a teacher that year, she become
director of the Charlotte Center of the University of North Carolina in
1947. She persuaded the legislature to keep the institution alive in 1949
when it was scheduled to close, resulting in the establishment of Charlotte
College, which she served as president. The college became a four-year,
state-supported institution in 1963. Cone was given her greatest acclaim
for leading the successful campaign to convert Charlotte College into The
University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1965. She then served as vice
chancellor for student affairs until her official retirement. Cone died March
8, 2003. In spring 2004, she was interred in Van Landingham Glen on the
campus she loved and to which she dedicated her life.

History of the University

UNC Charlotte was one of a generation of institutions
founded in metropolitan areas following World War II.
Created as the Charlotte Center, the institution opened on
September 23, 1946. 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.

 Explanation of Honors
University Honors Program: The University Honors Program (UHP) is an interdisciplinary honors curriculum
that complements any major. Students in the program strive to broaden their perspectives while developing as
scholar-citizens. The program consists of a core academic curriculum, honors elective courses, a senior capstone
project, and community engagement. To graduate with University Honors, a student must: complete all program
requirements; maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and a 3.2 grade point average in honors courses; and
receive a senior project grade of "A." uhp.uncc.edu

Department/College Honors: To qualify for graduation with honors recognition in a department or college honors
program, a student must: meet the grade point averages required (cumulative, in the department/college, and in
honors courses); complete an honors capstone thesis or project and receive an "A" for that course; complete any
additional requirements specified by the program; and be recommended by the program's honors committee for
graduation with honors. honorscollege.uncc.edu/honors-programs/85/honors-programs

Dual Honors: Students must complete requirements in both UHP and a department/college honors program.

Merit Scholars Programs: Albert Scholars, Crown Scholars, Levine Scholars, and Martin Scholars are recipients of
major four-year merit scholarships funded by University donors. Students must participate in the program and
meet all scholarship conditions. levinescholars.uncc.edu, honorscollege.uncc.edu/honors-programs/merit-
scholars-programs

Graduation with Distinction: Undergraduate degrees are awarded Summa Cum Laude when the graduate’s
cumulative grade point average is 3.9 to 4.0, Magna Cum Laude when the grade point average is 3.7 or above
but less than 3.9, and Cum Laude when the grade point average is 3.4 or above but less than 3.7. To be eligible
to graduate with distinction, a student must have a grade point average computed on at least 48 semester hours
of credit completed in residence at UNC Charlotte. Honor cord colors are green/white for Summa Cum Laude
graduates, white for Magna Cum Laude graduates, and green for Cum Laude graduates.

The commencement program must be prepared in advance. Therefore, notations for honors are based upon student
achievements as of the preceding term and are tentative. Final determination of graduation with honors is made upon
completion of the student’s final term.

Dean W. Colvard, First Chancellor

(1913-2007)
In April 1966, Dr. Dean W. Colvard became the first chancellor of The University
of North Carolina at Charlotte. During his 12-year tenure, he presided over a
period of rapid campus growth and development. Under his leadership, the
institution was organized into colleges, residence halls were built, graduate
work was initiated, and long-range planning started. His accomplishments
include helping to create the University Research Park and the University’s
Urban Institute, whose mission is to seek solutions to the social, economic, and
environmental challenges facing Charlotte and its urban communities. Colvard
joined the University from the presidency of Mississippi State University, and
he also served as a dean at North Carolina State University. Following his
retirement in December 1978, Colvard helped complete Charlotte’s Discovery
Place Museum and was the founding board chair of the North Carolina School
of Science and Mathematics. He also wrote books about his experience at NC
State, Mississippi State, and UNC Charlotte. In 2001, Colvard received the UNC
Charlotte Alumni Association’s Alumnus by Choice Award, and in 2004, he
received the Echo Foundation’s Award Against Indifference. Colvard died in
June 2007.

E.K. Fretwell, U.S. Higher Education Leader

(1923-2012)
Dr. E.K. Fretwell used his national higher education leadership to gain recognition
for UNC Charlotte. He became the University’s second chancellor in January
1979 after serving as president of State University of New York College at Buffalo,
and before that as assistant commissioner for higher education of the New York
State Education Department. During his career, he led some of America’s most
prominent higher education associations - president of the American Association
for Higher Education, president of the American Association of State Colleges and
Universities, chair of the American Council on Education, and chair of the Council
on Postsecondary Accreditation. In addition, Fretwell was named one of the 100 most
effective chancellors and university presidents in the United States in a national study.
After retiring in 1989, he served as interim president of the five-campus University of
Massachusetts, authored several books on university management, and consulted on
higher education around the country and the world. He was awarded an Honorary
Doctor of Public Service degree during UNC Charlotte’s spring 1998 Commencement
ceremonies. In 2002, he received the UNC Charlotte Alumni Association’s Alumnus
by Choice Award. Fretwell died October 18, 2012.

James H. Woodward, Building for the Future

Dr. James H. Woodward became UNC Charlotte’s third chancellor in
1989, immediately establishing himself as one of the leading executives of
the Charlotte metropolitan region. A U.S. Air Force veteran, he worked in
private industry and taught at North Carolina State University, the U.S. Air
Force Academy, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he
was a senior vice president for academic affairs, prior to coming to UNC
Charlotte. Under his leadership, UNC Charlotte launched ambitious plans
for both physical and intellectual growth. Woodward built strong support
among the region’s corporate and political leaders, obtained approval to
expand the University’s mission to include doctoral programs, and raised
the University to doctoral/research intensive status. He established UNC
Charlotte Uptown to serve students in the central business district. An
engineer, Woodward generated support to build the James H. Barnhardt
Student Activity Center and the Irwin Belk Track and Field Center,
obtained state funding for doubling the size of Atkins Library, and was
instrumental in garnering public support to pass a $3.1 billion statewide
bond referendum that enabled UNC Charlotte to construct or renovate
nearly a dozen buildings. He retired in 2005. Woodward has received
numerous honors, including the naming of the science and technology building in 2005 as James H. and
Martha H. Woodward Hall in recognition of his 16 years of service. In May 2011, UNC Charlotte awarded him
an honorary degree, Doctor of Public Service. Woodward received the UNC Charlotte Alumni Association’s
Alumnus by Choice Award in 2012. In November 2017, he was awarded the North Carolina Award for Public
Service, the highest award a civilian can receive from the Governor.

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.

 Chancellor Philip L. Dubois
Philip L. Dubois became UNC Charlotte’s fourth chancellor in July 2005.
A native of Oakland, California, Dubois attended the University of California,
Davis, where he graduated with highest honors in 1972 with an undergraduate
degree in political science. He then earned master’s (1974) and doctoral (1978)
degrees in the field from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Dubois began his academic career in 1976 at the University of California, Davis.
Over the next fifteen years, he rose through the faculty ranks to full professor
and held various administrative posts, including associate vice chancellor for
academic affairs. In 1991, Dubois was recruited to UNC Charlotte to be its
chief academic officer, the provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. He
left UNC Charlotte in 1997 to serve as president of the University of Wyoming,
a post he held for eight years until returning to Charlotte.
Now in his fifteenth year as Chancellor, Dubois has focused his efforts on
building the University’s visibility and support in the Charlotte region; long-
range planning for an expected enrollment of 35,000 students; completion of
key capital construction projects including UNC Charlotte Center City, the
Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC), and industry partnership
hub PORTAL; implementation of an intercollegiate football program starting in the fall of 2013; and, as of
March 2018, the expansion of light rail onto our campus, connecting us to Center City as never before.
Among the recent community recognitions for Dubois and UNC Charlotte are: Inclusion on the Charlotte
Business Journal's list of "Most Admired CEOs" (2019) and on their list of "Who to Watch in 2019" (2018),
the North Carolina Power 100 List (2018 and 2019), the Eileen Tosney Award for Career Service in Higher
Education Leadership (2018), the Higher Education Civic Engagement Award from the Washington Center
(2016), the World Affairs Council of Charlotte’s World Citizen Award (2016), the CASE III Inclusion and
Diversity Leadership Award (2015), the Leo M. Lambert Engaged Leader Award (2014), the Belk Innovation
in Diversity Award (2013), the Charlotte Energy Leadership Award (2013), the Charlotte Cornerstone Award
(2012, for positive economic impact), the Creative Thinker’s Award (2012, for UNC Charlotte—Center City),
and the Charlotte Regional Partnership “Jerry” Award (2009, for public sector contributions to economic
development).
Dubois and his wife, Lisa Lewis Dubois, reside on campus in the Sara H. Bissell House. They have three adult
children - Logan, Taylor, and Ali - and twin grandsons. Dubois has announced his retirement as chancellor,
effective June 30, 2020.
