Final Medallion & Brick Installation

December 17, 2023

Thank you for giving to UNC Charlotte's Class Gift of 2022/2023! Because of support like yours, we collectively raised nearly $32,000 from 661 donors to provide non-traditional student scholarships and mental health assistance for Niners in need. Thank you for making a difference in their lives!

Because we far surpassed our goal of 575 donors, the class medallion (rendering below) was installed with the bricks along 49er Way, the walkway between the football stadium and Hauser Alumni Pavilion.

Personalized bricks from gifts made between January 2023 and August 2023 have finally been installed! There's a map below to show you where the walkway is located and immediately below lists where to find your brick.

THANKS TO GIFTS LIKE YOURS, we are changing the lives of 49ers!

October 24, 2022

By supporting the 2022/23 Class Gift, you are making a life-changing difference in the lives of 49er students. Here are some testimonials from students that show just how much your support, regardless of size, helps students (like you) cross the finish line and obtain their college degrees!

Non-Traditional Student Scholarships:

"As a father of three children, that has been the most important and difficult aspect of this entire experience, but with the assistance of this scholarship, my wife and I have been able to make all the moving parts work together to achieve a moving balance.  My wife and I both have experienced adversity throughout our lives that has hindered us from achieving our educational and career goals as quickly as we would have liked, but we are finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel."

- Anthony M. Ramsey, Class of 2023

"My parents live an hour away in High Point, NC. Though this is where we are based, my background extends overseas to Pakistan. My family immigrated here years ago in hopes of a bright future for myself and my brother, and now that future seems attainable through this university."

- Ayisha Riaz, Class of 2024

"The nice thing about returning to school as an adult is that I have a firm idea of what I would like to do, and I have had time to discover and develop my passions. This scholarship will help me continue to pay for my educational expenses and get me one step closer to saving money so I can eventually pursue a master’s degree in public health."

- Janine Michael, Class of 2025

Mental Health Assistance:

"Last academic year, 20 students were referred to Student Assistance and Support Service (SASS) by the Center for Counseling at Psychological Services (CAPS) for financial support through the Mental Health Assistance Fund. These students' mental health needs necessitated referrals to additional off-campus resources, which these students expressed a financial constraint in supporting on their own. Each of these 20 students were awarded $500 to assist in the financial support of these mental health needs."

- Katie Russo, M.A.Ed. | Associate Director of Student Assistance and Support Services
