Providing Foundational Support for Carolina Law
By committing to support the law school at the $10,000 level annually, Cornerstone Club members have a transformational impact on Carolina Law.
What is Cornerstone Club?
The “cornerstone” in Cornerstone Club symbolizes the birth of the first national public university – the laying of the cornerstone of Old East on October 12, 1793.
Continuing this tradition, the Cornerstone Club ensures Carolina Law remains truly great and truly public. Members provide critical funding needed to address Carolina Law’s most immediate needs and highest funding priorities. Gifts at the Cornerstone level increase scholarship packages in both quantity and quality, create new experiential learning opportunities, and provide the resources needed to attract and support the nation’s most promising students and faculty. The club preserves Carolina Law’s proud tradition of offering a superb legal education at far lower cost than other prominent national law schools.
The club typically meets twice yearly for a summit to celebrate Carolina Law and generate ideas to engage and uplift the school.
How do I join?
Gifts at the $10,000 level or higher can be made between July 1 and June 30, by check, monthly bank or credit card draft, or stock transfer for inclusion in this year’s totals. Couples’ gifts can be combined, and corporate matching gifts may also be included.
Members may structure their gifts in a variety of ways. Unrestricted support is the most critical need at UNC School of Law. These gifts will help the dean fund his top priorities while growing the endowment. Members may also choose to designate their gift to a specific law fund of choice.
Please give serious consideration to this level of commitment. If you want a Cornerstone-level impact at your law school, contact the office of advancement.
“I choose to give back to Carolina Law because it is my belief that much of who I am and what I have been fortunate enough to do is a result of my very inexpensive education at Carolina Law. One of my favorite expressions is, ‘to those to whom much is given, much is expected.’ Carolina Law gave me so much and it is my obligation and joy to give back.”
