| 9:15 a.m. | An update on the Chancellor’s Innovation Circle We learned in the spring about the University’s plan to strengthen the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at Carolina. Since that time, the Innovation Circle, a group of alumni and friends who are accomplished innovators, have developed a plan for reaching our goal. Innovate@Carolina - Case Statement Innovate@Carolina - Roadmap Lowry Caudill, Chair of the Innovation Circle and Co-founder of Magellan Laboratories, Inc. |
| 10 a.m. | Break |
| 10:15 a.m. | Carolina’s Public Service Scholars Launched in 2003, the Public Service Scholars program provides a framework for undergraduate students who want to maintain and strengthen their commitment to serving communities throughout North Carolina, the nation and the world. The program encourages students to learn about and practice public service and engagement beyond the scope of traditional volunteerism, including organizational service, policy and advocacy work, fundraising and philanthropy. We’ll hear how some students are using this program to extend Carolina’s reach. Carolina Public Service Scholars Lynn Blanchard, Director of the Carolina Center for Public Service |
| 10:45 a.m. | A Carolina Covenant report card The Carolina Covenant, which promises eligible low-income students a debt-free education, has been embraced by the campus and replicated by universities across the nation. Since the program’s inception in 2004, the University has measured the success of the program and of each scholar from admission to Carolina through graduation and beyond. We’ll get a look at the Covenant’s report card and the grades we’re achieving. Shirley Ort, Associate Provost and Director of Scholarships and Student Aid |

Hill Ballroom
| 1:45 p.m. | A new look for Venable and a new day for science A campus landmark returns with a new face, as the east part of the new physical sciences building will retain a name familiar to generations of UNC alumni, Venable Hall. The west part of the building is named after Kenan Professor of Chemistry Royce W. Murray. Venable and Murray halls will be dedicated on University Day, October 12. We’ll hear how the state-of-the-art facilities in these and other new Science Complex buildings are enhancing the sciences at Carolina. (Note: The new building is also the site of Saturday’s pre-game event.) Thomas Clegg, Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy 2001 University Gazette article |
| 2:15 p.m. | Social media and why we can’t ignore it There’s no doubt that social media have changed the face of how we communicate. Younger generations who’ve given little attention to traditional forms of media have caused Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media sites to permeate the general population. Fred Stutzman will guide us through this new media maze, and Beth Braxton will show us how Carolina uses social media in its development efforts. Fred Stutzman, Teaching Fellow, School of Information and Library Science, and Co-founder of claimID social networking site Beth Braxton, Director of Annual Giving, University Development Rebecca Bramlett, Associate Director of Annual Giving, University Development |
