The University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Claim Stakers Abound N
aturally, a university magazine tells the story of people. Yet it seems that more so than typically – maybe because as I write this we approach the close of another academic year – this edition abounds with stories of those who are living the Stake Your Claim ethos. For example, read about the student beauty queen who overcame chronic anxiety to become a crown jewel. Read also about the stellar 49er student-athletes and their distinguished athletics director. Read about our first graduating class of Levine Scholars – impressive and so promising. Read about a cadre of alums working together as nuclear engineers. Read about the many students who are recognized for leadership. Keep reading, about the alum who has created a new scholarship to help promising students to someday achieve what he has achieved. Then read … well, just read it all, and know that at UNC Charlotte, Claim Stakers abound.

Clarification: In our Q1 2014 edition we featured a Perspective column by Linda Hargrove, a lecturer and freshman advisor in the William States Lee College of Engineering. However, we failed to identify her with the customary byline. We regret the error and thank Ms. Hargrove for her contributions to UNC Charlotte.
