Ellison Clary, director of Charlotte Community Relations for Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC), is pictured with Nancy Fey-Yensan, dean of the College of Health and Human Services, and Jerry Coughter, executive director of UNC Charlotte Center City, at the student lounge in the University’s Uptown building.

The UNC Charlotte Center City study room recently was named the Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Student Lounge in recognition of BCBSNC’s support of the Chancellor’s Speaker Series, which kicked off this past fall with “Telling it Like it is: An Evening with Sen. Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles.”

Clary is a 1968 UNC Charlotte graduate; University officials note he has been an active, engaged and supportive alumnus, and BCBSNC has partnered with the University on a number of initiatives, including the Chancellor’s Speaker Series and the CHHS Health Series.
