Carolina Alumni Review - November/December 2008

It comes as no surprise that Jeff and Marnie face their challenges with dignity and courage.

I hope the UNC family will continue to rally around Jeff and Marnie with financial, emotional and other support.

‘Living Writers’ Program
Applauded As ‘Fantastic Gift’

The Living Writers program is a fantastic gift to UNC and the Chapel Hill community.

I hope it will foster creative writers in this generation and beyond.

I was fortunate enough to learn under the guidance of Doris Betts and Daphne Athas as well as great journalism professors during my years in school there.

It’s exciting to know the creative spirits of other writers will be encouraged.

Nourish’s Roots,
And Its Reach

Thank you for covering Nourish in the recent Carolina Alumni Review ( September/October 2008). The word has gotten out about our program, and I am deeply excited about that.

In the spirit of constant improvement, the article would have been strengthened with two additional points:

Nourish grew out of the Campus Y, an organization that is near and dear to many Carolina alumni. They would be happy to know of Nourish’s roots and that the Campus Y is as vibrant today as it ever was.

Nourish is now a national movement that is scaling. It is exciting to see a Carolina model being replicated around the country, and Nourish needs Carolina support: www.nourishinternational.org/support.

I think these changes would bring the Carolina community closer together.

Correction

Bland Simpson ’ 70 is a stalwart of the English department, indispensable to the creative writing program — and currently persona non grata in the math building.

In his companion piece to the “Pillars of Wisdom” feature on campus columns in the September/October issue, Simpson counted four magnificent Corinthian columns fronting Wilson Library. There are, in fact, a slightly more magnificent six.
