The endowment will provide salary and research funding. It allows the associate dean to pursue scholarly endeavors and to have a source of discretionary funding to support ongoing program development and curriculum innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonors Carolina is a magnet to attract the best and brightest students,\u201d Grauer said. \u201cIt gives Carolina a bold and lasting competitive advantage. It provides our faculty with the opportunity to work with truly gifted students. Honors Carolina makes the Chapel Hill experience even more unique, even better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Associate Dean for Honors Carolina Jim Leloudis is the fund\u2019s first recipient. Leloudis has served as associate dean for Honors and founding director of the James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence for more than 18 years. His research focuses on the history of the modern South, with emphases on labor, education, race and reform.<\/p>\n

Heather Boneparth \u201980, current chair of the Honors Carolina Advisory Board, said, \u201cIt is quite fitting that Peter\u2019s gift will honor Jim’s exceptional leadership and ensure that Honors Carolina will continue to benefit from the leadership required to continue the path of innovation which has become the hallmark of the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dean Kevin Guskiewicz added, \u201cThe Grauer Fund will allow Jim and his successors to sustain the tradition of excellence associated with Honors Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grauer is a graduate of Harvard Business School\u2019s Program for Management Development. He is a former member of the UNC Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n
