Condolences

I cannot express how deeply saddened and troubled I am by the events that occurred on the evening of 4/30/19. UNC Charlotte holds such a special place in my heart and when the news broke, my heart sank. Sending so much love, comfort, and thoughts of peace to the families of all of the victims. […]

My son is a senior at UNC Charlotte. My prayers are with the families and friends of Riley Howell and Reed Parlier, and for the students who were injured. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

Words cannot express what happened, but we shouldn’t let those that have burdened us win. Charlotte Strong and Niners even stronger. Let us move forward together and allow this heinous event to bring us even closer together and give us the ability to love one another even more.

We as Niners are deeply saddened by our loss, and we will cherish Reed and Riley’s memories. Niners Strong!!!

UNC Charlotte is a great and strong family of students, staff and faculty that such cowardly incidents will actually make us all stronger, better people and good leaders. I had the honor of giving guest lectures in business school and serving in Dean Steve Ott’s board of advisors for the business school, which I am […]

It was one of the strangest/worst days of my life. As an RA I, like many employees and student leaders, have had ALICE training. However, nothing you train for can prepare you for something like this. I am an alumni from the class of 2014 and I love UNC Charlotte so much I came back […]
