IX. CONCLUSIONS

The character and quality of a university community ultimately depends upon its citizens -- students, faculty, adminstrators and staff. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is blessed with citizens who care deeply about the future of the University. Thus numerous faculty, students and staff have voluntarily worked together to create this plan for energizing intellectual life. Together we have conceived of a vision for UNC-CH to pursue in the 21st century: an educational experience that is student-centered, permeates the whole of University life, and is linked to life outside the University. And together we have identified the changes necessary to realize that vision. Now, we ask that the rest of the university, from the Chancellor to the newest student, join us in reinvigorating the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
