Although I live and work many miles away from the university, my heart hurts for the parents of […]

As an alumnus of UNC Charlotte, remembering the Kennedy Building’s history — first as a make-shift library in 1967, then offices for Educational Administration (HDL Dept.) in the early 70s — my heart goes out to the victims and the families of the victims, especially those brave men who lost their lives. Now, the word […]

As an alumni of UNC Charlotte, I am saddened and shocked by the violence of last week. I have so many fond memories of my college experience at UNC Charlotte. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the students who lost their lives and those who were injured. I also keep my […]

I graduated more than 20 years ago but it felt like I was there when this terrible event occurred at UNC Charlotte. I have such wonderful memories of UNC Charlotte.
