The Office of Development and Alumni Affairs advances the goals, objectives and priorities of UNC Hussman by generating private financial support and building and maintaining relationships with alumni and donors.
Our graduates exemplify the ethical, evidence-based and audience-focused core values they learned as Carolina students.
As journalists, strategic communicators, media professionals, entrepreneurs and scholars, our alumni are integral to providing the pathways for future Tar Heels to contribute to the world with the same compassion and commitment they have to keeping democracies strong. We hope you will find a way to engage with our community by investing in our future.
“As a student, UNC Hussman provided me distinct opportunities for learning and growth that set me up for success in my career. Today, as a proud UNC alumna, I give so students can continue to access best-in-class resources and experiences that will help them contribute positively to society.”
“Our ties to the school span three generations and six family members dating back to 1941. We all received a great education and made lifelong connections. My daughter and I have made annual gifts every year since we graduated. My mom volunteered for the school well into her 80s, and I have followed her lead. I have also set up two endowments, supported the Carroll and Curtis buildings and have a planned gift for the future. Carolina served us both well and we are happy to do our part to make it even stronger in the years to come.”
“My husband and I give because our time at Carolina is engraved on our hearts. It feels like it was just yesterday that I was in journalism classes in Howell Hall, not 30+ years ago. We give because of the education that UNC gave us and because of what Carolina gave to our daughter, a 2024 Hussman graduate. We also give so that future Hussman students, like our younger daughter (Class of 2028), will have the caliber of instructors, opportunities and experiences offered to me and our oldest daughter.”
“I give because so many gracious alums before my time gave to make a difference when I was a Tar Heel. Those stipends for travel, networking trips and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities UNC Hussman affords its talented students — they made all the difference in launching my career, and I am honored to be able to return the favor for the next generation. Every dollar and every gift makes a difference, no matter how small it may feel.”
“As proud UNC Hussman alumnae, we have both supported the school since we graduated, and we now have the opportunity to work with fellow donors and friends of the school in our development roles to help them determine how they would like to give back. Working alongside our amazing faculty and students is a dream come true and inspires us every day. We would love to connect with you as well! Please reach out if you’d like to engage more with the school.”
UNC Hussman prepares the next generation of journalists, strategic communicators, educators and researchers with support, resources and opportunities provided by our powerful, generous and loyal alumni and donor network.
