Chancellor

The Chancellor’s “Fast Five” update provides the campus community a behind-the-scenes glimpse into some of the projects and priorities that occupy the chancellor’s time and attention.

Chancellor Philip L. Dubois and the Student Government Association host an annual forum that provides students the opportunity to have an interactive discussion to address current issues within the University’s environment.

This year’s forum is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 21, in the Popp Martin Student Union Multipurpose Room as part of the Student Government Association Senate meeting.

Following the chancellor’s remarks, Niayai Lavien, president of the student body, will deliver her “State of the University” address. 

Faculty and staff members can join colleagues for socializing and networking at a Faculty and Staff Social, which will be from 4:30 to 6 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 28, at Harris Alumni Center at Johnson Glen.

The Council on University Community is accepting proposals for the Chancellor’s Diversity Challenge Fund, which supports initiatives that promote the daily value of diversity in the intellectual life of the campus. Faculty, staff or students are eligible to apply for awards of up to $5,000.

UNC Charlotte Chancellor Philip L. Dubois is among the business and civic leaders to watch in 2019, according to the Charlotte Business Journal.

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.

“Everything you do, do it with passion, energy and enthusiasm.” Will Healy, the new head football coach of the Charlotte 49ers, is driven by those 10 words.

Will Healy, an Eddie Robinson Award winner as the National FCS Coach of the Year, has been selected as the head football coach for the Charlotte 49ers. Healy, who has coached at Austin Peay State University for the last three years, is known for infusing energy and enthusiasm in his program, engineering one of the greatest turnarounds in college football history.

Charlotte 49ers Director of Athletics Mike Hill has announced that Brad Lambert will not be retained as head football coach.

 “We’ve decided to make a change in our football program,” said Hill. “It is a decision I made after an opportunity to assess my first football season here. It’s about the trajectory of the program and putting us in the best position for the future. We elected to make this decision now so that we could begin the search immediately.”
