UNC Charlotte growth has been tremendous.

       Two recent events are cause to reflect on where the University is heading at great velocity: 1) the May commencement ceremonies where they graduated 4,390 new 49er alumni; and 2) the Half-Century Society induction reception held in April when they celebrated the first graduating class of UNC Charlotte. These two milestones provide the supports that are bridged by 50 years of growth at UNC Charlotte. The University has transformed into North Carolina’s urban research university, an economic driver in the region and has woven itself into the social and cultural fabric of the great Charlotte community. What’s more, it’s done this all while remaining true to its tradition to provide access to an affordable, high-quality education to all students. If growth is a valid touchstone for progress, then there’s no doubt they have been on an amazing ride.

       The Magazine of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte for Alumni and Friends - Summer 2016 has a cover story (see page 14) that profiles some of the people who populated the inaugural graduating class of UNCC and are inductees of the new Half-Century Society.

This scholarship was established in 2014. Helen Adams founded her company more than three decades ago in the growing city of Charlotte. Her goal was to create a company which was based on a strong commitment to personal service, unmatched area knowledge, exceptional real estate expertise, and the highest ethical standards.

We are so proud to have established a permanent endowment with UNC Charlotte called the Helen Adams Realty Scholarship. When thinking about giving back to the education of our community, Helen Adams chose UNC Charlotte because of their size and growth. As they expand they educate more future leaders, future buyers and sellers, and future real estate agents! The proceeds from the endowment will be used to provide merit-based scholarship support to incoming freshmen with a preference given to those from Mecklenburg County, so that we can help those in the community where the bulk of our business comes from.  The award will be renewable for up to four years, provided the recipient continues to demonstrate academic achievement. Recipients will be selected by the UNC Charlotte Scholarship Committee.
