Thanks to a $1,000,000 gift(multi-year) to the UNC philosophy department from the BB&T Charitable Foundation, a "BB&T Visiting Assistant Professor" (among other things) was created. Dr. Amy Peikoff will hold it during the 2004-2005 academic year.

That is interesting, where did you hear this news? I knew that she was going to teach at UNC, but I thought the $1,000,000 was going to the University of South Carolina. The articles I read about the money all said it was USC. Is there another gift to UNC as well?

These are the articles about BB&T that I've read.

Atlas51184, what you read about USC was correct. This is a different $1KK gift. I came across this press release in January 2003.

I guess it took a long time to gel.

BB&T also gave $1KK to the VEM program (Gary Hull and Eric Daniels) in 2003.

And also over $2.5KK to the University of Kentucky this year.

(These gift amounts are all spread over a number of years)
