In order to attract the top graduate students in the nation, Carolina must add endowed fellowships at all levels, including the new Royster Society of Fellows, the Universitywide flagship program of support comparable to the Morehead Awards and the Carolina Scholars Awards for undergraduates. At the heart of Carolina's reputation as an outstanding educational institution is the quality of its faculty. To continue to attract, develop and retain the best faculty, Carolina must endow additional distinguished professorships, term professorships, teaching awards, and fellowships in the Institute for the Arts and Humanities. Technologies and libraries Continued financial support of the University's libraries and technical resources is critical. For example, the University must provide undergraduates competitive skills for an information-based economy by teaching them to find, evaluate and integrate electronic and print information, especially when House Undergraduate Library is converted to an electronic gateway library.
Gifts also help the library restore and purchase much-needed books and journals.
The Health Sciences and Law libraries are administered independently. Capital improvements Overcrowded and inadequate classrooms and laboratories inhibit creative teaching and research. And nearly every school needs additional or renovated space, whether for classrooms, faculty offices, laboratories or clinics. Two examples of current projects include the renovations of Memorial Hall and the Campus Y buildings. Plans include an expansion of the lobby and new restrooms, box office and checkroom.
