With a $10 million gift from the John William Pope Foundation that will support a combination of core areas where Carolina excels, the University is continuing to invest in education, research and service that will benefit North Carolinians for many years to come.
“It’s an investment in people,” said Chancellor Carol L. Folt. “A public university that can invest in people, that will make the state thrive and do good things is at the heart of everything we do.”
Announced April 23, the donation will provide support to the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, UNC Horizons, the track and field program, and the Philosophy, Politics and Economics Program.
