Alumni who have earned all three degrees

at UNCG — or any university —

are an unusual lot.

Earning three degrees — bachelor's, master's, and doctoral — consumes around a decade of your life, a long time. You're a different person when you walk across the commencement stage, all smiles, to receive the diploma that puts the "Dr." in front of your name. You're certainly older, more in debt, and — everybody hopes — wiser.

If you're one of the few people to have earned all three degrees at one university, Peterson's Guide, if you were a bird, would describe you as "uncommon" and maybe "rare." You would be a peacock among the robins of academia — a creature of exotic plumage.

As a doctoral-granting university since 1963, UNCG has a number of "peacocks," about one hundred, in fact. They represent less than 10 percent of the 1,652 doctoral degrees the University has awarded. Dr. Nance White was the first. She earned her doctoral degree as a faculty member in what is now the Department of Human Development and Family Studies. She con-

tinued to teach in the Department until her retirement in 1988.

With their unique pedigrees, these grad- uates, consciously and unconsciously, embody to varying degrees the University's institutional culture. They have likely assimilated, just by their long association with the University as students, many of the basic values, perspectives, standards, and ways of doing things that are unique to UNCG. They carry the culture with them, and they spread it wherever they go.

A iiarity iNow

Dr. Brad Bartel is dean of the Graduate School at UNCG. He and his staff oversee from the second floor of the Mossman Building the University's thirteen doctoral programs and fifty-nine master's degree programs. Approximately 2,700 students are currently pursuing graduate studies at UNCG.

"The student who earns all three degrees from the same institution is a rarity now," he said. "It happened more in the

past than it does now. But even in the past, it wasn't a common path of study."

There are, however, definite pluses to earning three degrees from the same uni- versity.

Faculty within a department sometimes see it as advantageous. They are first and foremost interested in training academically talented students. If they have a stellar undergraduate major in their department, they may want to keep him or her rather than encourage that student to go else- where. It's certainly less time consuming to recruit good students that way. And it costs less, too.

For the student, too, the continuity from undergraduate to doctoral candidate at the same university may offer advantages. Rapport between the degree candidate and the faculty mentor is important in study at the doctoral level. If there is rapport estab- lished at the undergraduate or master's level, it could weigh in a decision to earn all three degrees at the same institution. There may be a doctoral program available in a subdiscipline at the university where a talented student with an interest in it has

earned their undergraduate degree. It sim- ply may not be available at too many other places. Life circumstances also may make three degrees from the same university advantageous to a student. Perhaps, for example, they're in a situation where they cannot relocate.

There are disadvantages, too. Dean Bartel said, which explains why most doc- toral programs now look off their campuses for students. They want the intellectual fer- ment, growth, and innovation that diversity stimulates and enhances. Diversity, in short, strengthens a doctoral program. It benefits the students and the faculty. The reputation of the department where talented under- graduates earned their degrees is enhanced when they enter outstanding graduate pro- grams elsewhere.

Dean Bartel said in most instances today graduate faculty at a university will encour- age outstanding undergraduates or master's students to pursue doctoral study elsewhere. "If you train your own, you become a well- kept secret."

He pointed out that 89 percent of the students at UNCG are from North Carolina, and most of them come from the Triad. As a faculty member, he said, you would encourage such an undergraduate student interested in a doctoral program to go elsewhere. "They need to seek out different experiences as an exercise in personal growth."

In most instances, going elsewhere for graduate study benefits the student as well as UNCG. Triple dippers may be an endangered species.

Bobbie Haynes Rowland '5i '68 ms 74 PhD

Professor, Child and Family Development, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Years ago, when little Bobbie Haynes was on campus visiting her older cousin, Helen Whitener Zink '34, they had dinner in the dining hall. For dessert, there was a brick of vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet.

Bobbie ate slowly, savoring each mouthful.

"How often do you have this?" Bobbie asked her cousin, tap- ping the saucer with her spoon.

"Oh, I don't know," Helen said. "Maybe two or three times a week." Bobbie took another bite. She looked thoughtful.

"I'm coming to school here," Bobbie announced.

Admissions people today would call it early decision. Bobbie was about five years old at the time.

As a teenager, she attended Girls' State, the mock government held each summer on campus. It's sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. "I became very familiar with the campus. I thought of it as pretty, interesting, and friendly. I still do."

When it was time to go to college — a few years after the end of WWII — there was but one real choice. "Here," Bobbie said. "It was an incredibly supportive insti- tution. UNCG has always been student- centered."

What also sticks in her mind are the wide range of rules and regulations that governed student life on the all-woman campus — sign-outs, sign-ins, chapel, a dress code, no cars. "It was fun breaking them.

"These were the good years: Young and

no real responsibilities, and I knew it. I don't think we were a worldly bunch at all. I don't remember being concerned about too much of anything, certairdy not the state of the nation or world."

When Bobbie returned some years later to work on a master's degree, she brought with her a different attitude. She was a sin- gle mother, recently having been widowed, with two small children — one, two years old, and the other, six months. She rented the attic of a house on Mclver Street. She attended classes and worked in the chil- dren's laboratory at the Curry School, which was then affiliated with the School of Education. Every Monday night, she loaded the cliildren in the back seat of the car and drove to Durham, where she taught a course in early childhood education.

"The University responded to my needs; everyone was very supportive."

Home in Gastonia, where she directed a church kindergarten, UNC Charlotte invited her to teach part-time in its early childhood development program. She agreed to do it for a year but stayed longer. When she was promoted to an assistant professor, she was urged to get her doctorate.

Once again, she returned to UNCG. The University offered what she was after — a PhD in early childhood development. She continued to teach full-time at UNC Charlotte. She had remarried. She commut- ed several days a week to campus.

"Again, the faculty was incredibly sup- portive. Some even were baby sitters for my children, who then were eleven and twelve years old. The faculty-student rela- tionships were so close knit, and it wasn't just me. It seemed part of the University."

As Dr. Rowland, Bobbie chaired the statewide commission that recommended to then Gov. Dan Moore the establishment of public kindergartens in North Carolina. She since has become a staunch advocate of cliildhood and family issues. She has served as president of the NC Association for the Education of Young Children, the NC Kindergarten Association, the Higher

ALUMNI NEWS SPRING '98

Education Birtli to Kindergarten Consortium, and the Gaston County Coirunission on the Family. And she's the current president of the Alumni Association of UNCG.

Vira Rodgers Kivett '55 w ms le pud

T P

Ira is Excellence Professor in the Department of Human

Development and Family Studies at UNCG and has received the O. Max Gardner Award, the highest honor given to fac- ulty members in the sixteen-campus UNC system. The award, named for the late Gov. O. Max Gardner, recognizes faculty members who have made "the greatest contributions to the wel- fare of the human race."

Vira said that professionally, earning all three degrees from the same institution is not considered the most esteemed route. "I've been privileged here to have the opportunities that have enabled me to achieve my scholarly and intellectual goals. It's not been a handicap for me at all.

"You do need diversity and infusion from the outside. You must have it. Yet an institution also needs a common thread. And, yes, I guess I'm a part of that thread."

Her Gardner Award citation reads in part: "For more than twenty-five years, commitment to making a difference through scholarship and advocacy has defined Vira Rodgers Kivett. ... One of the nation's fore- most scholars on rural aging, she has served as a 'voice' for more than eight million elder- ly rural Americans, many of whom struggle to meet increasing age-related health and social needs in underserved and financially disadvantaged areas. . . . Her findings have

had major impacts on regional, state, and national policies and programs concerning financial assistance, nutrition, health-care deHvery systems, optional housing, and long-term care facilities."

In accepting the award last spring, Vira said, "It gives me great satisfaction to con- tinue the legacy of scholarship and service that has characterized the rich history of my institution."

Vira is an internationally-recognized scholar in the field of social gerontology. She is one of the foremost scholars on rural aging in the United States. For the past twenty-five years, she has conducted research on the status and needs of older rural adults. She pioneered research into the Hves of rural, disadvantaged elderly people. Her longitudinal, in-depth study of the elderly that began in 1976 continues to be the standard reference in current schol- arly literature in the field.

Her research findings have been pre- sented before the Select Committee on Aging of the US House of Representatives. In 1989, she was cited as one of the top six- teen scholars in the country in the field of family science by the National Council on Family Relations. She began teaching at UNCG in 1960, and has taught here contin- uously since 1968.

"This University is a very affirming place," Vira said. "It always has been, and it's one of the wonderful things of being here."

Dr. Lee Kinard 74 76 ma '88 EdD

Lee is UNCG's most recognizable gradu- ate. He co-anchors newscasts at 6 pm and 7 pm, Monday through Friday, on WFMY, the television station in Greensboro. For forty years, he was host and executive producer of TJie Good Morning Shozv, an early morning telecast that became an insti- tution in central North Carolina.

In addition to news, sports, and com- munity events, Lee used the show as an educational tool to promote good causes

ALUMNI NEWS SPRING %

and widen horizons through interviews and travelogues.

Not bad for a high school dropout. . . .

Lee left high school in the eleventh grade. He earned his diploma through correspon- dence courses. He tried Pfiffer College near his hometown of Concord but left after a year for a job in television at WFMY.

By the late 1960s, he was uneasy person- ally and in his career. "I came back to school because I really felt uncomfortable in the position I was in and not having a col- lege degree. That piece was missing from my hfe."

UNCG was convenient, yes, but even then Lee had family ties to the University. His mother, the late Grace Winecoff, had attended UNCG in the 1920s but did not finish. A sister-in-law, Emily Burns Milton Sells '56, is a graduate. And so are both his daughters, Beverly Ann Kinard 17 and Valerie Grace Kinard Surasky '79.

As a freshman a few years past his for- tieth birthday, he and daughter Beverly were in a math class together. "She was very embarrassed," he said. "There weren't many adult students on campus in those days. But 1 never once felt uncomfortable on campus." He said Beverly made an "A" in the class. He made a "C."

Out of curiosity, he enrolled in a class in contemporary American poetry. The ground shifted. "I was a middle-aged man.

I had never even heard of Wallace Stevens or William Carlos Williams, much less read them." He went on to major in English and then earn a master's in it. He spent the bet- ter part of the next ten years working on a doctorate in education. He was, of course, working full-time at WFMY.

"My academic work at UNCG was ful- filling," he said, "I needed it. I needed to get a grade as a human being as opposed to a TV rating."

Dr. Sarah Moore Shoff ner 'ei bs '64 MS 77 PhD

Sarah considered herself a part of UNCG before her freshman year. A great aunt, Gertrude Mendenhall, had been an early math teacher here. Mendenhall Residence Hall is named for her. As a child, Sarah was a guest with her parents on several occasions in the home of Dr. Anna Gove, the first campus physician here. The Gove building today houses the Student Health Center. "Dr. Gove lived in a three- story house behind where Graham Building is now," Sarah said.

"My academic career here has almost been by default," she said. "People sup- ported me and provided me with opportu- nities. I took advantage of them." One of her mentors was Dr. Rebecca McCulloch Smith '47 '53 MS '68 PhD, now retired, also a tripple dipper.

"What I'm trying to do now," Sarah said, "is help my students succeed in what they want to do. I believe very strongly in that. I've always felt an obligation to give back to the University."

Sarah is a member of the UNCG faculty in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies. She is a recipient of the NC Home Economist Award, the highest award bestowed by the NC Home Economics Association.

UNC6 takes center stage as women's soccer gains popularity

The popularity of women's soccer is growing at a phenomenal pace, and UNCG — a university known for promoting the success of women — took center stage in the sport's growth late last fall.

UNCG hosted a record crowd of 9,460 spectators for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Women's National Championship December 7. The crowd set two records: One for the number of fans watching a women's college soccer game and another for the number of people attending an event at the University.

Counting the 9,025 fans who braved the cold and wind for the semifinals on December 5, 18,485 people made their way to UNCG, also setting a record for the three-game event. The event has been held at various sites across the nation for sixteen years.

"It's exciting to see this sport grow like it has," said Anson Dorrance, the head coach at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the program's nineteen seasons. "We can remember back in the older days when the people who would come to watch our games were a mom, a dad, a dog, and a cat. This is a wonderful evolution of our game, and we are certainly excited to see what UNCG has done to promote this event."

Coach Dorrance's Tar Heel squad won the 1997 championship — the school's fourteenth in sixteen tries — with wins over Santa Clara and the University of Connecticut.

Only 1,134 fans watched the Tar Heels win their first NCAA national championship in 1982, and fewer than two hundred showed up for the title match the next season.

Fifteen years later, fans came from thirty-seven states, the District of

Columbia, and Canada. Approximately 40 percent of the ticket holders were from outside North Carolina, and spectators traveled from the West Coast for the sold-out event.

While the in-person attendance exceeded eighteen thousand at UNCG, as many as fifty million others had the chance to see the games on Fox SportsNet.

Countless others read about the championship in their newspapers, lis- tened to it on their radios, or watched highlights on their local television news. More than one- hundred press credentials were issued, and repre- sentatives from Sports Illustrated and The Neiv York Times were among those in attendance.

Such coverage was unheard of less than two decades ago, when only a handful of schools even played this sport.

In 1981, seventeen Division I schools offered women's soccer. Now, sixteen years later, 229 Division 1 programs do. Twelve or more Division I schools have added the sport each year for the past six seasons. There were thirty new pro- grams in 1995 and twenty-nine in 1996.

"We've experienced tremendous growth," said Phil Buttafuoco, NCAA senior assistant director of cham- pionships and NCAA liaison for the women's soccer event. "...Women's sports in general are growing, but you have to look at women's soccer as a leader in that growth. ... And I think we've got the potential for women's soccer to continue to grow

j^ The University expanded sealing at Spartan Stadium to nine thousand seats for tlie NCAA Final Four, adding temporary bleachers along the west sideline. The sell-out crowd set a record for the number of fans attending a college women's soccer match.

faster than any other sport."

Notre Dame also advanced to the 1997 Final Four at UNCG, and Fighting Irish Coach Chris Petrucelli '84 agreed that women's soccer is only beginning to grow.

"We are going to become a big- time NCAA sport, a sport that is going to draw big crowds, that is going to constantly fill arenas and produce revenue for our schools," Coach Petrucelli said.

When he took over as head coach at Notre Dame eight years ago, "I never thought we would play in front of nine thousand people; if we played in front of one thousand, that was great," he said. "... Now, our sport is really unlimited as to where it can go."

Mr. Buttafuoco said the NCAA growth comes from a popularity

boom at the youth soccer level and from the international success of the US Women's Soccer Team in Olympic and World Cup play.

"Right now, there are more young girls playing soccer than there are playing basketball, or any sport for that matter," Mr. Buttafuoco said.

Coach Dorrance also expects the growth of the sport to continue at the collegiate level.

"I am so proud at how hard every- one works to promote our game," he said. "The game has just taken off. I am proud to be affiliated with such a dynamic, growing game."

He said he was also proud to play for his fourteenth title at UNCG, where officials from several community, city, and University organizations worked for nearly three years to plan the event.

ALUMNI NEWS SPRING '98

"Everything that UNCG did was just superb," Coach Dorrance said. "I have had few experiences that felt as good as this weekend. The stadium is elegant. All the Uttle touches were there. I was over- whelmed at how well organized it was. Every little detail was taken care of this weekend, and this is a credit to the leadership here at UNCG, the NCAA leadership, and the community."

The NCAA Division I Final Four in women's soccer returns to UNCG December 4 and 6 this year.

Mr. Buttafuoco said the NCAA has asked UNCG to further increase its stadium seating for that event, with additional growth expected in years to come.

"You build your marketing plan based on the number of seats you have," Mr. Buttafuoco said. "This year's marketing plan was based on nine thousand seats. ... Kathy Lindahl, chair of the Women's Committee, has challenged us to sell fifteen thousand seats each day by the year 2000. That's where we would like to go by 2000, fifteen thousand seats a day, or thirty- thousand for the three-game event."

In February, NCAA officials voted to take the championship to the 27,000-seat stadium at San Jose State University in California for the 1999 and 2000 events.

Will the fans fill those seats just as they filled the ones at UNCG? "It's certainly nice to have that opportunity," Mr. Buttafuoco said.

Tickets for the 1998 event at UNCG are $25 for the three games. To reserve seats, call 1-800-357-1728.

Just for Kicks

Chris Petrucelli '84 returned to UNCG as one of the nation's best women's soccer coaches

W l/ here's the log cabin?"

That was the first question from Chris Petrucelli '84 as he returned to the UNCG campus for the first time in seven years.

A lot had changed for the former captain of the Spartan soccer team since his graduation thirteen years before, and a lot had changed since his last visit in 1990.

Coach Petrucelli returned to his alma mater in early December for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Women's Soccer Championships.

As head coach of the Notre Dame women's team, he hoped to capture his second NCAA national title at the site where he helped UNCG earn two NCAA Division III national soccer crowns.

But — just as the sport he coaches — so much had changed about his alma mater.

The log cabin Coach PetrucelU referred to was home to the UNCG athletic program when he was a student. It occupied the corner of Walker and Aycock Streets.

"That was a landmark," he said. "You always said, 'Make a right at the log cabin,' or 'Make a left at the log cabin.' That's how you knew where you were. That was the first change that jumped out at me."

Others were the remodeled University Dining Hall and the Rock — it had been moved, he said.

UNCG's athletic facilities and teams also have changed, much the way Coach Petrucelli has changed the way women's soccer is played at Notre Dame.

Chris Petrucelli '84 helped guide UNCG to two NCAA Division III national cham- pionships as a player. He is now one of the most successful women's soccer coaches in NCAA history. Coach Petrucelli returned to UNCG in December in attempt to earn his second Division I national title as coach at Notre Dame. The Final Four appearance was his fourth-straight as a coach.

Orange, NJ, native said. "Because of our success at Notre Dame, we've played in a lot of the best soccer environments in the country. This is the best soccer envi- ronment by far."

The UNCG Soccer Stadium was not much more than a set of blueprints when he played for the Spartans.

His sophomore and junior seasons were played off-cam- pus as workers cleared trees and graded the field.

"My senior year, we came back to that space, but it was still just a field; there was not a stadium," he said. "Today, the sta- dium is absolutely incredible."

For the NCAA Championship, UNCG officials expanded seating at the stadium to nine thousand seats, and the 9,460 fans at the December 7 final set an event record for the most spectators at an NCAA women's soccer match.

Coach Petrucelli never played before such a large crowd. The largest crowd he played in front of was five thousand, during UNCG's first soccer Homecoming match in 1982. Ironically, the Spartan oppo- nent for that game was Notre Dame.

When he left UNCG with his bachelor of science in business administration degree in 1984, he had no intentions of going into coaching.

However, he followed his UNCG coach, Mike Berticelli, to Old Dominion, where he served as

a graduate assistant.

hi 1990, Coach Berticelli convinced him to go to Notre Dame, to coach the then two-year-old women's program.

After eight years, he has estab- lished himself as one of the best women's soccer coaches in the nation. He is a two-time national coach of the year, earning the honor from the National Soccer Coaches Association in 1994 and 1995.

He holds a 154-19-9 coaching record in his eight seasons, and his teams have won more than 91 percent of their matches in the past five years (110-9-4). His Fighting hish squad won the 1995 national championship, dethroning nine-time defending champ North Carolina in the process.

vanished December 5, when the University of Connecticut upset the Irish 2-1 in the semifinals.

The NCAA women's soccer championship returns to UNCG this year. If history is any indication, Coach Petrucelli very well may make another trip to his alma mater. He played just two seniors in the semifinal match, and ten starters return from the 23-1-1 squad which handed North Carolina its only blemish of this past year.

He said it is not out of the ques- tion to one day face UNCG in the finals.

"When I came here as a student, there wasn't much of a soccer pro- gram," he explained. "When I left, we had won two national champ- ionships. And UNCG continues to win. I think one of the things I am proud of is that it wasn't just a cou- ple of years of success. There really is a legacy here that we helped build.

"When I came to UNCG, the ath- letic department was small; it fit inside the log cabin. It was a Division III environment. It has pro- gressed from not a very good Division III school, to being the best athletic department at Division III, to being one of the best athletic departments at Division II, to now taking on Division I and being quite successful. They are not quite at the top, but certainly I think a lot of peo- ple are working to get there."

And those people haven't changed since his student days, he said. Even if some of the actual per- sonnel have changed, the spirit and attitude of the people haven't, he explained.

"The hospitality and the atmos- phere created by the people that are here, that hasn't changed," he said. "It's an environment where you feel comfortable. That hasn't changed one bit."

Spartans Enjoy Most SuGoessful Season

In 1988, several years before most colleges thought of offering their female students a chance to play soccer, UNCG started a women's soccer program. Since then, the Spartans have gained national attention with a top twenty-five ranking in five of the past seven years.

This past fall, the team enjoyed its best season.

The 1997 squad became UNCG's first Division 1 team to reach the second round of the NCAA national tourna- ment and finished the year with a 19-6 overall record.

En route, the squad set a new school record for most wins in a season and tied the University record for most shutouts (thirteen).

The Spartans won eleven of their first thirteen matches before dropping two contests to national powers Florida and Duke. Then came a span of eight wins in nine matches. The Spartan defense allowed just two goals during this late-season surge. jV ^BP' The Spartans swept their

Gov. Hunt Names Fred Chappell NC Poet Laureate

Fred Chappell, a member of the UNCG English faculty since 1964, is poet laureate of North Carolina.

"He will carry on our long tradi- tion of literary excellence," said Gov. Jim Hunt, to a standing-room- only crowd in the Alumni House December 10. "On and off the cam- pus, Fred Chappell is famous for his generous support of aspiring writ- ers. ... His great talent and generosity of spirit, 1 believe, make him a per- fect choice for North Carolina's highest literary honor. His great energy, his marvelous wit, all will serve North Carolinians well as he encourages reading and writing and literacy statewide."

A critically-acclaimed author of fourteen books of poetry, seven nov- els, two collections of short stories, and a book of literary criticism, Mr Chappell called the appointment his highest honor.

He said, "Being named poet lau- reate of a state filled with splendid writers makes me feel proud but fearful, like an awkward teenager at his first formal dance. ... A hundred others in the state might have been chosen. In my mind, I represent them."

Gov. Hunt noted other writers have praised Mr. Chappell as "our ambassador of words" and "our res- ident genius, our shining light."

Mr Chappell said, "The laureate- ship has to be the friendliest, cheer- fullest, and most harmless of all state-appointed posts, yet it entails duties 1 do not take lightly. 1 con- ceive it to be the office of the poet laureate to bring literature, and especially poetry, to broad public

notice and wide acceptance inside our state, and to bring our North Carolina literature to the attention of the rest of the world."

The appointment is for a five- year term. Mr. Chappell succeeds Samuel Ragan of Southern Pines, who served as the state poet laureate from 1982 until his death in 1996. Mr. Ragan was an executive editor of the Raleigh Neivs and Observer, and later, owner and publisher of the Southern Pines Pilot.

Mr. Chappell, a native of Canton, holds the BA and MA degrees from Duke University. He was appointed the Burlington Industries Excellence Professor at UNCG in 1988. He teaches advanced composition, poetry, and fiction.

His major literary honors include The Aiken Taylor Award in Modern American Poetry, presented by the Sewniiee Reviezc; the T.S. Eliot Award for Creative Writing, presented by

the Ingersoll Foundation in Rockford, IL; the O. Max Gardner Award, the highest honor The University of North Carolina system can bestow on a faculty member; the Bollingen Prize in Poetry of the Yale University Library; and the Prix de Meilleur du Livre Etranger, present- ed by the Academic Francaise, nam- ing the novel Dngon the best foreign book of the year.

Mr. Chappell's most recent novel. Farewell, I'm Bound to Leave You, was released in 1996. His most recent book of poetry. Spring Garden: New and Collected Poems, was released in 1995. His collection of essays on poetry, titled Plow Naked, was released in the fall of 1993. He cur- rently is working on a new novel. Look Back All the Green Valley, and a new collection of poems.

The Power

OF Individuals

Campaign Supports Alumni Endowments

Somewhere in the devel- opment of modern phil- anthropy a false notion took hold: Of the contributions to charitable organizations, corpo- rations and foundations give the lion's share.

The facts tell a different story, however. Last year America contributed $150.7 billion to all charities, including education. A breakdown of sources shows:

• Individuals gave 86.5 percent ($130.38 billion), $119.92 billion in outright gifts and $10.46 billion in bequests

• Foundations gave 7.8 percent ($11.83 billion)

• Corporations gave only 5.6 percent ($8.50 billion)

The giving picture at UNCG is similar. As The Second Century Campaign for UNCG nears a suc- cessful conclusion, it is clear that individuals — alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends — have stepped forward to show their sup- port for the University's future. So far, gifts and pledges to the cam- paign add up this way:

to take. "UNCG meant that my life took a better path," they say. "1 wish to share with the University the fruits of the very success it helped me attain." These feelings can find an outlet in a number of ways. Our most loyal alumni express them through membership in the Alumni Association. Others share them through service, committing their time and tal- ents to the University by partic- ipating on boards, committees, and volunteer activities.

Most individuals who support UNCG say they give because they believe in the University's mission. Alumni give so future graduates will have opportunities not available to them in the past. Faculty and staff give because they see firsthand what the needs are in the classrooms and the administrative offices. Parents and other friends give because — even though they are not alumni — they see a connection to their own ideals through the University.

Commonly heard from alumni is the sentiment of giving back in appreciation of what thev were able

The Campaign and THE Association

Connections mean every- thing. That is why, knowing the level of support alumni already show through membership in the Alumni Association, The Second Century Campaign for UNCG includes a special goal that gives back to the Association.

With a target of $1,500,000, this campaign goal encompasses two endowment funds. The first, the Alumni Association Endowment Fund, supports the programs and services that make the Association a compelling membership opportunity. Special events, projects, and member services continue to grow in quality

.MUMNINEWS I SPRING '98

and quantity to the benefit of all alun^ni. While continuing to spon- sor traditional programs — Reunion, Homecoming events, graduation celebrations, nationwide alumni receptions, travel programs — future plans call for more student/alumni interactions, career services, new alumni communication channels, award recognitions, and oh-so-many other ideas the Association members dream up.

The second endowment is the Alumni House Endowment Fund. This fund supports the requirements — both aesthetic and practical — of maintaining the Alumni House. As the center of alumni and University activities, the sixty-year-old House takes its share of bumps and bruises. And as needs in furnishing and equipment change — who in 1937 would have thought of having a recycling bin? — funding must be found to maintain the service the Alumni House so elegantly provides day in and day out.

State funding does not cover these special needs. "Frankly, we ask graduates and friends to con- tribute to the work of the University because there are programs that just aren't funded any other way," explained Skip Moore, vice chancel- lor for University Advancement.

Gifts from individuals make the difference. Gifts from corporations and foundations make the balance. Without them, the University and the Association could not move for- ward to enhance the lives of UNCG alumni and students in the ways that matter.

Plaque Commemorates Woman's and Kirkland Halls

Members of the Class of 1944 (plus a "sister" from the Class of 1942) gathered at Founders Day to pay tribute to Woman's and Kirkland Halls. Left to right, Marilib Barwicl< Sink, Dorothy Scott Darnell, Jamie Fowler Sykes, Janice Hooke Moore, Betty Hornaday Schenk, Betty Dorton Thomas, Billie Upchurch Miller, Judy Barrett '42, and Nancy Kirby West

nuring Founders Day festivi- ties last October, a bronze plaque was unveiled by the Class of 1944 to commemorate the site of two beloved dormitories standing no longer: Woman's and Kirkland Halls.

Nancy Kirby West '44, former Student Government President and a resident of Woman's HaU, penned the

phrase that captures the spirit of those stately old dorms: "...where midnight oil was burned, enduring friendships formed." At the unveiling ceremony, Nancy acknowledged that seeing them on the plaque was a liigh honor. "With my words in bronze," she quipped, "1 am miles ahead of paper- backs for durability."

For more than fifty years students returned to Woman's or Kirkland to study, to sleep, to socialize — to grow up. The dorms, a matched pair, were valued for their enormous built-in dressers, deep closets, sleeping porches, double porch swing, and small, intimate parlors — "...the back one quite private. Remember?" recalled Nancy with a wink.

Woman's Hall opened in 1912 at a construction cost of $25,000. Sited

on the edge of Peabody Park, the College dairy barn had to be moved to make way for the new building. The hall later became known infor- mally as "Senior Hall" and was the preferred dorm for campus leaders. By 1931 the student government offi- cers, publications editors, presidents of the societies, marshals, and other campus wheels lived there.

Kirkland Hall became Woman's next door neighbor two years later, mirroring its architecture. The new dorm was named to honor Sue May Kirkland, the formidable "Lady Principal" who served the Normal School from its opening day until her death in 1914.

By the late 1950s the dorms had outlived their usefulness and were becoming too costly to repair. Although razed in 1964, Woman's and Kirkland remain strong memo- ries for any alumna who lived there. And henceforth, thanks to the Class of 1944, new generations of students will have a reason to ask about life in an age when dorm living meant something different than it does today — or does it?

A Golden (Chain) Anniversary

This year there's something even more golden about Golden Chain, the UNCG honor society — its golden anniversary. Fifty years ago seventeen seniors at the Woman's College were tapped to become the first members of Golden Chain in recognition of their contributions to the college community.

To commemorate. Golden Chain mem- bers are asked to join special Reunion activi- ties in May. The traditional Golden Chain Breakfast will be held on Sunday, May 17, where alumni of the honor society may

meet current stu- dent members.

When Golden Chain was founded in 1948, plans called for the organization

to grow into a chapter of the national honor society Mortar Board. Although by 1953 Golden Chain had met the criteria for affiliation, the College withdrew from its connection to Mortar Board to become an independent honor society.

Reunion's Coming Up Fast

Commercial Classes Make B/'g Plans

Heard at a meeting on campus recently: "Caution! Events on your calendar are closer than they appear."

To avoid the spring scurry, be sure your calendar for May 15-16, 1998, is clearly marked "Reunion Weekend." All UNCG alumni are invited to campus — especially those who graduated in classes ending in 8 and 3. Honored alumni will include the Class of 1948, celebrating their 50th reunion, and the Class of 1973, on their twenty-fifth.

Also among the honored will be alumni from all Commercial Classes. Commercials took business courses here from the opening of the institution in 1892 until 1967. So far, about 1,350 graduates have been identified and invited back.

Barbara Barger Harelson '58C of Greensboro is among the group plarming their special reunion events. "This is the first time we've ever asked Commercial Class graduates to return all at once," she said.

The response has been positive. "Although we were enrolled for just one year, our experiences were nonetheless valuable," Barbara said. "So many Commercials went on to entrepreneurial endeavors, opening their own businesses, succeeding in the work world. We got our start at Woman's College."

Not many Commercial Classes have kept up with one another, though. One notable exception is the Class of '46C, which, prompted by class leader Mary "Fuzzie" Thompson Reavis of Winston-Salem, has held reunions every couple of years. Fuzzie, like Barbara, is a member of the planning committee for the all-Commercial reunion this year.

Barbara said her class had a mini-reunion five years ago, but that was the first one since 1959, the year after graduation. But interest in an all-Commercial reunion has taken off. "I've even heard from a classmate in Alabama who's planning to be here," she said. Anita Brown Rayburn '58C lives in Birmingham and hasn't been back to campus since she graduated.

Other Commercial Class members serving on the planning com- mittee are Kay Slaughter Cashion '53C, Betty Shoffner Gilmore '58C, Carolyn Adams Osborne '43C, Janet Wise Pugh '64C, Evon Welch Dean '42C, and May Lattimore Adams '35C.

On Saturday, May 16, the Bryan School of Business and Economics will host a reception and program for Commercial grad- uates. Here will be a chance to discuss future Commercial Class reunions and ways Commercial alumni may wish to connect to the University, through special programming and communications.

])q W Really Need Another Credit Card?

While each of us may complain that we are inundated with credit card mailings and tele- marketing calls, my answer is a resound- ing YES! we do need another credit card — as long as it is the UNCG credit card. UNCG Alumni and MBNA agreed last summer to offer the official UNCG credit card to alumni, students, and friends of the University. In this affinity card pro- gram, we receive a benefit for allowing MBNA to market the UNCG credit card. I want to assure all our alumni that we have not "sold" our mailing list to MBNA; rather, we have entered a con- tractual agreement with the company to send direct mail and telephone solici- tations for a special credit card that bears the UNCG name and logo. The benefits to alumni and friends are excellent: A low introductory interest rate, no annual fee, and customer sup- port from a company known as a leader in affinity credit card programs. The benefits to the University are twofold: First, we receive royalties on each card accepted and each purchase made with it; second, the UNCG name is proudly presented each time the card is used, providing us with yet another way to build loyalty and support for UNCG around the country.

Have the University and the Alumni Association "sold out" to big business? It depends on your perspective. True, we've added our name to a long list of organizations who send you mail and call you on the phone asking for your support in some fashion. However, the reality is that we have to act like a business in order to compete for limited funds and charitable dollars. The

Alumni Association is committed to providing quality alumni and student programs, serving the University and celebrating the heritage of our institu- tion. It takes a lot of human and finan- cial resources to accomplish these goals.

We have a dues-paying membership program that provides a base of finan- cial support for alumni programs. In addition, we are working to raise $1 .5 million during The Second Century Campaign for UNCG to help sustain alumni programming in the future. Our challenges are great, however, and we must continue to seek new and innovative ways to fund our programs. The affinity credit card program is one of the methods we've chosen to provide funding for alumni and student pro- grams, and for all-important student scholarships as well.

And guess what? It works. The Alumni Association investigated the affinity credit card program. We learned that many other uruversities and alumni associations support an affinity card program and have found it to be a highly successful method of generating rev- enue. Within less than a year, we have had more than three thousand UNCG alumni, students, and friends accept the UNCG credit card. Royalties are coming in, and the extra funding makes a differ- ence in our programs today.

Thank you to all who have signed up for the UNCG credit card. If you have not done so, please consider applying for the UNCG credit card. Your partici- pation in the program subsidizes the University's ability to do its best.

Potomac Gathering

More than seventy alumni, family, and friends gathered on Saturday, September 27, for an afternoon of fun at Burke Lake Park in Fairfax Station, VA. What a nice way to say goodbye to summer and find out who else in the region holds a UNCG degree. And what could be a more fitting menu than Stamey's Barbecue and all the trimmings delivered straight from Greensboro.

Planners Katherine Hilton '82 and Elissa Ewalt '94 declared the day a success, and they solicited help from other alumni to plan future events: Dawn Lawson Morrison '86, Arlean Barner Graham '81 , Carolyn Lyons Blodget '62, Monica Blodget '92, and Betti Bush Schwartz '62.

Are You Ready?

t can be said with a great deal of satis- faction and accuracy that for the past few years the UNCG Alun^ni Association has been puUing itself togeth- er and creating a positive, productive partnership with the University.

At the same time, UNCG has under- taken a major facelift — physically, intel- lectually, and emotionally. Newcomers to campus speak of a climate of cooperation and collaboration. Old timers refer to improved faculty morale, student- centeredness, and high expectations. There is no doubt that the UNCG Alumni Association and the University have stepped forward and taken their places at the cutting edge of new opportu- nities for education and service. Much of the credit can go to the Alumni Board transition team that began the journey of rebuilding the historically strong, interde- pendent relationship with the University — and to Chancellor Patricia A. Sullivan who, in her first three years, has built a sense of community and confidence that is moving the University forward and has helped to establish strong bonds of trust with the Alumni Association.

This is a good time for you to take stock of your involvement and commit- ment to your alma mater. It is time to reflect on the investment the University made in you and examine your capabih- ties to give back. It is time to examine your opportunities to support the UNCG Vision as a leading student-centered university, linking the Piedmont Triad to the world through learning, discovering, and service.

It means a different kind of alumni who are ready for the new thrusts of University hfe and influence. To help

you conceptualize this new paradigm I suggest you ponder the following:

Are You Ready...

to use your influence, ideas, and resources for the good of the University and its future? to learn about and share the pride of the many good things that are happening on campus? to encourage more alumni to join the Alumni Association?

to tell the UNCG story to community leaders, legislators, and potential friends of the University?

to volunteer in some way for Alumni events and projects?

to learn more about major programs and grants that have brought national prominence and recognition to UNCG? to be nimble, flexible, and open to forming network relationships by accessing our Web site?

to have some fun as we strengthen who we are and what we are about? to join our team and move into the twenty- first century well-equipped for unifying the efforts of the Alumni Association and the University?

Are we ready? You bet we want to be, and we need all of you, whatever name our alma mater was known as when you were on campus. It is time to close the gap between the WC alumnae and what has been referred to for the last thirty years as "the younger alumni." There is room and need for all of us. We need to tell the UNCG story from the very begin- ning. We need to laugh and cry at our memories. We need to see the similarities and celebrate the differences. We need to move forward, and to do so we are counting on you!

Cheryl Sosnik 74

Didn't See Herself As Handicapped

by Gernj Hosteller

This article appeared in the Charlotte Observer on December 20, 1997. Reprinted by permission.

She had multiple sclerosis for more than half of her 45 years. It had robbed her of the use of nearly all but her hazel eyes and vibrant voice — but not of her indomitable independence.

Cheryl Ann Sosnik, diagnosed just weeks after her 1974 graduation from UNC Greensboro, died December 11.

She strewed flowers from her bouquet of cheer in the path of all who walked her way. "She was always cheerful," said younger sister Marilyn Smith. "She didn't look at herself as handicapped; being in a wheelchair wasn't a problem."

Cheryl deftly guided her wheelchair by using her chin to move a pivoting lever. At a 1996 Panthers game, the wheelchair helped, but park- ing and crowds didn't. She fired off a letter to the Chadotle Obsei-oer's Forum recounting the lack of amenities for the handicapped. She wanted to make it better for others in hke circumstances.

She had an electronic aid, a "Butler in a box," that assisted her at home. It was first named "Rhett," then changed to "Won Ton" when a two- syllable name was required. "He" answered, "May I help you?" or "Yes, master" when com- manded to adjust the television or make a phone call.

One day when "he" repeatedly refused her summons, she spat a frustrated command that no machine could perform. "Yes, master," Won Ton answered.

Politics was one of Cheryl's passions, and she voted at the polling places from her van.

Her biggest passion was people, though, and she was a most special person herself, said Charlotte musician and composer Loonis McGlohon. "She loved Charles Kuralt, Kays Gary and me," he said. She and Gary shared the same birthdays and in 1986 he wrote, "Not once have I missed her card."

Gary, late Observer columnist, wrote: "Cheryl had and still owns this almost impossible enthusi- asm about people and happenings... this incredi-

Cheryl, center, surrounded by fellow reunioners from the Class of 74.

ble optimism is flood-like in its capacity to dimin- ish or conquer pain, to right wrongs...

"She has utterly devoted parents and family in Herb and Carolyn Sosnik, Grandma Gigi, sister Marilyn Smith, and brother Mark," Gary wrote. "How many doctors pray the Good Lord will gift other patients with Cheryl's life force?

Cheryl's mother said, "Charles Kuralt was her Sunday morning worship service. He called her on her birthday."

Though she never met Kuralt, McGlohon was a steady visitor. "Her courage was such an inspira- tion; she was somebody special."

Cheryl had lived most of her life in Gastonia, but it was her decision to live at Matthews' Carrington Place for assisted living. [A new friend] there was an incapacitated young mother who needed more help than Cheryl had to give. She asked her mother to speak to her roommate. "That's usually your thing; you talk to her," her mother replied.

"But she's down. Mama, and I can't hug her. She needs hugging."

That was Cheryl. She always wanted to make it all better for others.

The First Collection of Poems

by Sarah Lindsay '84 Was Nominated

for the National Book Award

"I've dreamed for fifteen years of being Introduced by Fred Chappell," Sarah Lindsay '84 MFA quipped in January to an audience in the Faculty Center. Sarah had been invited to cannpus for a poetry read- ing. Her first book, Primate Betiavior, was one of five collections nominated for the 1 997 National Book Award in poetry. Mr. Chappell, poet laureate of North Carolina, was one of her teachers when she was in the creative writing program at UNCG.

Sarah lives in Greensboro and works as a maga- zine writer and editor. Her poems were first pub- lished when she was a student by Ttie Greensboro Review, the literary quarterly published by the UNCG MFA creative writing program. After earning her degree she continued to be published widely throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Her poetry is wide- ranging in place and time, and its imagery startling.

Twelve UNCG Poets and Writers Contribute to Commemorative Art Book

Twelve alumni, faculty, and former faculty of UNCG were invited con- tributors to Ttie Store of Joys, a book published in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the North Carolina Museum of Art.

The forty-five contributors to the book were asked to choose an object in the museum and respond to it in poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction. Museum Art Director Lawrence Wheeler wrote, "There is no question that Tiie Store of Joys (its title borrowed from a Walter Raleigh poem) succeeds in accomplishing one of its goals — to encourage fresh interpretations of the museum's paintings and sculp- ture. And the museum is delighted to honor its collection in terms of the particular artistic genius of the state, which is everywhere recog- nized as literary."

The contributors with ties to UNCG:

• James Applewhite, a former faculty member of the English Department

• Doris Waugh Betts '54x, a student here for two years
