Chancellor’s Message Chancellor Wagoner Inevitably the time has come for me to write to you for the last time as Chan cellor. There is, of course, some sadness in that for me. But that sadness is mitigated by the certainty I have that this university is built on a firm foundation and will continue to be a force for good in southeast ern North Carolina and be yond. In a very real sense, you alumni have been and are the very essence of this institution. As students you provided our only reason for being and our life blood. As alumni, you not only contribute to our growth and well being, you ex emplify what we hoped to do for you. In your work, your homes, and in our communities, in your roles as leaders and followers, parents, producers, consumers, and citizens, you bear the stamp of your years here, and we are judged by your merits. And how proud of you we are! May you continue to grow and prosper in all you do and are, and may you always care about UNCW. Hail and farewell! Friends Enrich UNCW The education rendered by any institution can best be measured by the quality of its faculty and aca demic programs. These areas can be greatly enriched beyond the limits of state funding, tuition and fees through community support, such as that delivered by the Friends of UNCW. The Friends of UNCW were orga nized in 1963 to help what was then Wilmington College expand its li brary from 11,000 to 50,000 vol umes to meet the standards neces sary for senior-level college accredi tation. Within three years the Friends had helped the college meet its library expansion goals, and have since broadened their support to in clude other areas of need. Over the years, the Friends have helped im prove the quality of education at UNCW by enhancing existing pro grams or underwriting new projects. Funding from the Friends has helped bring thousands of books to Randall Library, a library for the Center for Marine Science Research, display cases for archaeological studies, a Steinway concert grand piano for Kenan Auditorium, and many departmental instructional aids. The projects they have solely funded are too numerous to mention in this article, but their endearing support has been vital to the growth of this university. Persons interested in membership information about the Friends of UNCW, should write them at P. 0. Box 3131, Wilmington, NC 28406. Membership categories are Regular Member, $10; Contributing Member, $25; Supporting Member, $50; and Patron, $100. An endowment fund has also been established with con tributions used for student scholar ships. Become a friend of education by becoming a friend of UNCW. Alumni Association Recognizes Two Area Businessmen Two Wilmington businessmen whose contributions to UNCW have made possible faculty enrichment programs, student scholarships and enhanced athletic facilities were rec ognized at the 1989 Alumni Awards Banquet in February. Charles F. Green III received the Distinguished Alumnus Award and Raiford Trask Sr. was recognized as the Distin guished Citizen. Green, a member of the class of 1971 and a history student, was in fluential in starting a faculty devel opment program in the History De partment in memory of Dr. Thomas V. Moseley. Moseley, who died in fall 1986, taught for 23 years at UNCW. Green said that he was in spired by Moseley’s love of learning and his continued interest in his stu dents. Green’s gift will enable the university to continue to attract ex cellent history faculty. The money will aid in the faculty’s professional growth and enhance their instruc tional opportunities. In the Cameron School of Busi ness Administration, Green and his family have established a scholar ship as a memorial to J. W. Jack son, grandfather of Green. Jackson was a leading Wilmington business man who founded Jackson Beverage Co. He died in 1964. The scholar ship is intended to encourage stu dents to enroll and study business at UNCW. Raiford Trask Sr., a long-time leading Wilmington developer, has made substantial financial contribu tions to UNCW for many years. He served a central role in the formation and development of Wilmington Col lege, was instrumental in the UNCW campus being located at its present site, and served a term on the UNCW Board of Trustees. He has been a true supporter of Seahawk athletics and his financial contribu tions provided two UNCW athletic facilities: Trask Coliseum and Brooks Field baseball stadium. At the conclusion of the awards banquet, the UNCW Alumni Associ ation presented Frank Bowen, for mer association director, with an award of appreciation for his ser vice.
