WGD Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas51184 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 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. http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews...rts/8267393.htm http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/local/8270034.htm http://www.dailygamecock.com/news/2004/03/...sm-640453.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted April 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Atlas51184, what you read about USC was correct. This is a different $1KK gift. I came across this press release in January 2003. unc.edu/news/newsserv/archives/nov02/bbt110702.html 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. vem.duke.edu And also over $2.5KK to the University of Kentucky this year. uky.edu/PR/uk_News/January%2019%202004/BandE5million.html (These gift amounts are all spread over a number of years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
