Greetings Alumni,
It's with great pride that the UNCP Alumni Association
welcomes our new Chancellor Dr. Kyle Carter! We are excited
that he will be part of our University family, and we look
forward to our relationship together. We also want to thank
Dr. Charles Jenkins for his hard work and dedication to the
University during this period of transition. We appreciate your
guidance and leadership.
There is no shortage of excitement on our campus. The
University celebrated its biggest commencement in history on May 8 when the UNCP
Alumni Association welcomed 613 new members into our family. We wish you all the
best as you leave UNCP and move out into the world. We hope you will return often
for visits ­ and don't forget, Homecoming is October 30!
Remember to keep in touch. It only takes a few minutes to join the Alumni
Association's Facebook page, which is linked to our Web site (www.uncp.edu/alumni),
and while you're there, you can update your contact information and share your latest
news here in UNCP Today. Keeping in contact with your college friends and your alma
mater is the first step in being an active member of your alumni association.
Finally, we want our alumni to come back to campus. Fall is just around the corner,
and we hope you will visit during this vibrant and energy-filled time to experience the
excitement. Check out the incredible 2010-11 season at Givens Performing Arts Center,
tailgate with us during football or just come back to say hi to old friends. We hope to
see you soon!

In keeping the tradition,
Floyd H. Locklear

P.S. In response to budget cuts, the University believes that cutting down to one printed
issue of UNCP Today per year is the responsible thing to do. To make sure you don't
