John Bland, UNC Charlotte director of publications, said, it was a terrific kudo for the UNC Charlotte Magazine to be recognized nationally. “A number of our readers have contacted us over the past three years to note the magazine’s improvements in content, design and strategy. Our teammates at SPARK Publications are great partners in the production of the UNC Charlotte Magazine.”
