History [edit]

N Carolina State Normal and Industrial School, ca. 1906.

Credit for the founding of UNCG goes mainly to Charles Duncan McIver. McIver served the establishment every bit its kickoff principal executive officeholder with the title of President. This position has also seen various names, with the administrator being known as the Dean of Assistants later 1934 and Chancellor from 1945 to present.

The school was established as a women's college by legislative enactment on February eighteen, 1891, as the Country Normal and Industrial Schoolhouse and opened October v, 1892. The school provided instruction in concern, domestic science, and teaching with a educatee trunk of 223 and a faculty of 15 in its first yr. R. S. Pullen and R. T. Greyness gave the original ten-acre (4.0 ha) site in Greensboro, N.C. where the first building was erected with state funds totaling $30,000. It is the first and merely public university in North Carolina founded for the purpose of educating women. In 1949, it became the largest all-female institution in the United States.^[8]

Post-obit the 1903 commencement, in June 1903, Dr. Charles Duncan McIver issued a report of the school and its progress.^[9] McIver stated the schoolhouse was in "drastic demand of two essentials to any high class educational institution," when referring to a gymnasium and a quality library.^[9] At the time the chapel of the Back-scratch building on campus was being used for physical activeness.^[9] He noted that if a donation of $five,000 or $10,000 for either edifice would allow the university to hopefully build a structure within twelve months.^[nine]

The schoolhouse has seen many names over the years, changing from the "Land Normal and Industrial School" to the Land Normal and Industrial Higher in 1896, and again in 1919 to North Carolina College for Women. In 1932, it inverse to the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, when it became one of the three charter institutions of the Consolidated University of Due north Carolina, and changed again to the University of N Carolina at Greensboro when men were get-go admitted to the school in 1963. It is remembered fondly by many graduates of the Woman's Higher simply equally "the W.C."

UNCG has expanded beyond its traditional borders onto Gate Urban center Boulevard, a major metropolis thoroughfare, with the construction of an 800-bed residence hall for students, and this is just the beginning of the $200 million project on Gate City Boulevard. The new construction is a mixed-use development, with infinite for retail and restaurants, along with pupil residence halls and a new student recreation middle. The university's expansion into the West Lee Street Corridor was triggered by UNCG's housing program, which calls for the university to increase the percentage of undergraduates living in academy housing from thirty pct to more than xl per centum over the next decade.

In improver to providing room for UNCG'south growth, the expansion also syncs with Greensboro's revitalization plan for the Gate City Boulevard corridor, a main entry point and thoroughfare in the urban center. The project will also spur economic development in the area. Projections gauge the development will generate more $590 million in new spending between 2014 and 2023, create 945 new jobs and boost local belongings revenues by $seven.5 one thousand thousand. The expansion has not been without controversy, particularly the $91 meg athletic eye. The able-bodied center is financed past a mandatory annual fee of $435 charged every UNCG pupil.^[10]

A personnel scandal erupted in 2014. On September 25, UNCG terminated the employment of three persons in the university's public relations section and they were arrested on felony charges of operating a photography business on University time and with University property.^[eleven] On September 29, the story broke on a local blog. University kinesthesia and staff protested the firings and arrests.^[12] On October 30, the district attorney dropped all criminal charges against the three onetime employees. UNCG dedicated reporting the incident to legal authorities, simply announced that the former employees had the right to appeal their termination through the personnel grievance organisation.^[13]

On Oct xx, 2014, Chancellor Linda Brady announced her retirement constructive July 31, 2015. Brady said her retirement was not related to the ongoing personnel scandal at the university.^[14] On January 27, 2015, the head of the public relations department tendered his resignation, effective February half dozen.^[xv]

The white tower stacks of the Jackson Library and the Spartan water tower are recognizable structures in the Greensboro customs, and the campus is likewise home to "the Rawk" and the clock belfry—ii campus landmarks—and schoolhouse traditions (Come across Traditions beneath). A new bong tower at the corner of Higher Ave. and Spring Garden St. was completed in 2005.

The Fountain is another landmark on UNCG'southward campus and is a mutual meeting place for student groups. Visible from parts of the quad all the fashion to the Elliot Academy Center and from above in the Jackson Library and "the Caf," the big steps and platform effectually the fountain are frequently home to demonstrations, performances, and fraternity/sorority functions.

Traditions [edit]

Some of the nearly visible traditions at UNCG have place between the university dining hall and the Elliott University Center where "The Rawk" and the clock tower are located.

The Rawk [edit]

The Rawk^[36] is a large boulder donated by members of Alpha Phi Omega in 1973 and painted most every twenty-four hour period by students, who employ it as a giant message lath. Unofficial rules govern the employ of the Rawk, and students know non to employ foul language and that messages must be left for at to the lowest degree 24 hours before existence painted over. Students know when they tin begin to paint over the previous bulletin on The Rawk by the ii smaller rocks in front of it; 1 for the engagement, and one for the fourth dimension at which the bulletin was painted. The Rawk was originally placed where the fountain is today, on the hill in front end of the dining hall.

Clock towers [edit]

Students at the academy also uphold the tradition of non walking below the iv-faced clock tower located nigh the Rawk. It is said that those who walk nether the clock volition non graduate on fourth dimension, and some students believe in this most religiously, avoiding the bricks around the clock tower too. Only graduates and the occasional unbeliever walk through the heart of the four posts to read the plaque beneath the clocks.^[37]

Students are also told not to depend on the fourth dimension shown on any of the clock's faces. All four faces tend to show slightly dissimilar times.

A new clock and bell tower, the Nicholas A. Vacc Bong Tower, was constructed in 2005 on the site of the onetime University Bong, at the corner of Higher Artery and Spring Garden Street. The bells ring on the hour and on every quarter of the hour in a sequence fabricated famous by the Large Ben chimes.

Other traditions [edit]

It is also a tradition each year to give new students a Minerva pin and a daisy—the school flower of UNCG—later educatee convocation. The daisy was the inspiration for the original two school colors: gold and white. (Navy blue was added to the colour palette in 1987 "to provide better visual dissimilarity to publications, merchandise and athletic uniforms."^[38]) Another tradition is the ringing of the university bell to open up the bookish yr at the start of each Fall Semester.

Yet another tradition is to put a wreath of daisies at the human foot of the statue of Charles McIver at UNCG and on the grounds of the Northward Carolina state capitol on Founder's Twenty-four hours. This is done by the alumni of the academy.

School of Pedagogy [edit]

The School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

The School of Teaching has several graduate programs, one notable 1 being a Doctorate in Philosophy (PhD) in Educational Studies with a Concentration in Cultural Studies from the Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations Department.

The history of the School of Education of UNCG has its roots in the founding of the university itself. Originally designated in 1891 as the North Carolina State Normal and Industrial School, UNCG was established as a school to train women educators, based on the assumption that if women received training they would, in turn, educate their children and ultimately improve the level of education and literacy in the state.

Founding of "the Normal" was a long time in coming. Although providing country-supported higher education for women in North Carolina had been an occasional topic of discussion amid educators, the idea did not appear to be taken seriously until after the Civil State of war. When the idea was first formally proposed to the country's legislators, all of whom were men, it was overwhelmingly resisted. Information technology was non until Charles Duncan McIver reminded the General Associates that the state's Constitution asserted "education of youth would be provided at low prices and would be encouraged at one or more universities." McIver argued that women were part of its youth and were, therefore, rightfully entitled to an education.

In addition to the constitutional footing for establishing an institution for women, several other factors came into play. First, there was an extensive need for qualified public school teachers, a career path assumed to be especially attractive to women. Also, there was overwhelming bear witness that the public school system in North Carolina was amidst the worst in the nation. For example, the boilerplate national expenditure per student enrolled in the public schools was $17.62, but North Carolina spent just $3.36 per student. Similarly, the average national length of the school year was 135 days, but information technology was merely lx days in N Carolina.

Indeed, for about a decade after the Normal was founded, the curriculum involved diplomas awarded for piece of work that was distinctly below college level. At the time few public loftier schools turned out female graduates who were prepared to handle college-level work. The curriculum was gradually modified over time and the Normal School became a total-fledged College in 1897. Baccalaureate degrees followed in 1903 and graduates were awarded a "diploma and life license" to teach in North Carolina.

College of Visual and Performing Arts [edit]

School of Nursing [edit]

The School of Nursing was established in September 1966 under the leadership of the kickoff dean, Eloise R. Lewis. The first class of BSN students graduated in 1970. In 1976, the MSN program was initiated. The School began the PhD program Fall 2005. The School continues to offer both undergraduate and graduate programs with over iv,000 alumni. The School as well offers an outreach program in Hickory, North Carolina for RN to BSN students and a concentration in teaching for MSN students.

Students accept the opportunity for clinical experiences in over 400 agencies throughout the state of Northward Carolina. The School supports four nursing clinics for the elderly as educational sites for students. All students are brash by nursing faculty.

Schoolhouse of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering [edit]

The Joint School of Nanoscience & Nanoengineering ("JSNN") is a collaborative project between N Carolina Agricultural & Technical Country Academy and UNCG. The mission of the JSNN is to train students to comport basic and applied research in nanotechnology.

The Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering is expected to offer Professional Master of Scientific discipline and PhD degrees in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. Nanoscience and Nanoengineering training for scientists and engineers already in the workforce.

Programs of study focus on three main areas: nanobioscience, which emphasizes biological and chemic aspects of nanoscience; nanotechnology, which emphasizes technology and ecological aspects; and environmental nanoscience, which will accost ethical and environmental implications of nanoscience. These programs of study lead to Professional Masters or PhD degrees. The biological and chemical research emphasis offered by the JSNN is the first in the nation. The only other two existing professional master'southward programs in nanoscience and nanoengineering are at Rice University and University at Albany, SUNY, neither of which offers a biological or chemical emphasis.

The Graduate Schoolhouse [edit]

The Graduate School at The Academy of North Carolina at Greensboro directs and manages the graduate programs on campus for approximately 3600 graduate students from 33 states and 34 foreign countries.

Some of the activities coordinated by The Graduate School Staff:

• Disseminate program and admission information to prospective students
• Collect and process application materials submitted to the university

Other notable academic units [edit]

MFA Writing Plan [edit]

During the early on years, the academy had amongst its kinesthesia a number of noted writers, such as Allen Tate, Caroline Gordon, John Crowe Ransom, Hiram Haydn, Peter Taylor, Robie Macauley and Randall Jarrell. They invited other distinguished writers to campus to read from their piece of work and to come across with students; these writers included Robert Lowell, Robert Frost, Flannery O'Connor, Robert Penn Warren, Eudora Welty, Nobel prize winner Louise Glück and Saul Bellow. In 1965, under the leadership of Robert Watson, creative writing offerings were formalized. Since that time, enrollment has grown, but the faculty has intentionally kept the MFA programme small, enabling students to have individual conferences with faculty. Notable kinesthesia members accept included Fred Chappell, H.T. Kirby-Smith, Michael Parker, Craig Nova, Stuart Dischell, Jennifer Grotz and David Roderick. Notable graduates include Claudia Emerson, Steve Almond, Keith Lee Morris, Lee Hadaway, Wiley Cash, Linda Carter Brinson, Kelly Cherry, Kathryn Stripling Byer, Mary Ellen Snodgrass, Robert Morgan. and Rodney Jones.

Gateway University Inquiry Park aims to attract and retain educational, corporate and community service agencies which advance scientific and educational inquiry in engineering. The park consists of 2 campuses.

A$400 one thousand thousand chief program has been developed for the two campuses of Gateway University Research Park and when fully developed, the enquiry park is anticipated to generate an economical impact of $l meg per year in the Triad. Upon total build out of the projection, it is further predictable that companies and agencies located at the Gateway University Research Park will embrace more 2,000 employees. The Southeast campus of the research park already houses the aforementioned School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering.
