TUNE IN ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 FOR A LIVE BROADCAST OF THE CEREMONY

 

 
 

About the Event

The power of education to improve lives is a universal story. We celebrate this momentous occasion for our top-ranked business school: a new state-of-the-art building to meet the changing needs of business education. Because of space constraints, demand has outpaced our ability to serve talented UNC students and the community certainly responded to our call for support. Thanks to you, we have raised our goal for a new building to meet the increased demand for business education at Carolina.

 

Our keynote speaker Jamie Dimon, board and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., will join us to share in the excitement of this endeavor for the future of business and building leaders of tomorrow.

 

Construction is about to begin on this expansion that is designed for today and the future of learning at UNC with increased space for student life and community interaction, as well as enhanced technology that will meet LEED Gold standards as a baseline for sustainability.

 

This is our opportunity to share our appreciation for your support in helping us achieve our mission to develop leaders who make the world a better place. We are excited for you to begin to see it start to come to life!
