Alumni

The UNC Charlotte Alumni Association is actively seeking nominations for its 2019 awards class. The deadline to submit a nomination for this year is Friday, Jan. 25.

UNC Charlotte alumna and College of Health and Human Services adjunct faculty member Tchernavia Montgomery has received the 2018 Charlotte ATHENA Leadership Award for Service, honoring her accomplishments with the Crisis Assistance Ministry. The award honors professionals in the nonprofit sector who give back to improve quality of life in the Charlotte community and assist women in discovering their full leadership potential.

Thousands of family and friends gathered at Fall Commencement to celebrate the University’s newest graduates. But worldwide, thousands more tuned in to one of the three ceremonies to join the festivities.

It started with a cardboard box.

The box, which followed the UNC Charlotte School of Nursing from its first home in the Belk Gym to its current home in the College of Health and Human Services, contained precious memorabilia that detailed the program’s 50-year history.

UNC Charlotte faculty and staff members answered the call again for this year’s annual Giving Green campaign. Contributions totaled $248,928, and the campaign reached a milestone of 1,010 unique faculty and staff donors.

Flu season is upon the country once again. This October marked the 100th anniversary of the Influenza Epidemic (Spanish Flu) of 1918 in North Carolina, and there are lessons to be learned from the historic event.

Ann Mabe Newman and Dona Haney co-authored “Miss Bonnie’s Nurses: The First Fifty Years of Nursing at UNC Charlotte,” and they will discuss the work at 10 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 8, in the Atkins Library, Halton Reading Room.

As the lead engineer on a $2 billion airport improvement project, UNC Charlotte alumnus Ashton Watson is involved in all types of engineering, on all types of capital jobs, with all types of stakeholders.

UNC Charlotte’s young alumni waste no time in making marks in their fields and in the community, as evidenced by the inaugural 10 Under Ten Award winners – among them: a creative designer working in Los Angeles,; a fashion designer who styles Charlotte executives and a YouTube show host using her media platform to spread positive vibes.

The eighth annual Excellence in Leadership Awards were bestowed upon six outstanding alumni at a campus luncheon held in the Harris Alumni Center at Johnson Glen on Friday, Oct. 12.
