YEAR IN REVIEW | 2010–2011 | 1
This time last year we were unveiling a brand new
website, a freshly focused communications plan, and a
renewed sense of mission for the Morehead-Cain program.
A year later, we have completed a bricks-and-mortar
transformation to match.
The east wing of the Morehead Building has been the
foundation’s home for almost forty years. Generations of
Carolina’s best and brightest have studied here, sought
guidance here, and grabbed the occasional caffeinated
beverage here.
We now have a more welcoming space for all of the
above. During the summer, we undertook a long-overdue
renovation to address critical infrastructure needs and free
up additional workspace. The foundation’s main offices will
remain on the ground floor, with considerably more room
for scholars to work and collaborate. On the floor above,
we’ve converted the banquet hall into staff offices and a
large event space for scholar and alumni programming.
Next time you’re in Chapel Hill, I hope you’ll to stop in to
explore.
We plan to put the new space to good use accommodating our expanded Alumni Speaker Series. In the past
year, we’ve hosted more than a dozen events, giving
scholars the chance to connect in group settings with
visiting alumni. Exploring everything from the nature of
posthumanism (with Cary Wolfe ’82) to the challenges of
interviewing Vanessa Redgrave (with Frank Bruni ’86), our
alumni shared generously of their own lives and work.
In the coming year, we hope to introduce even more of
you to our scholars and to one another. As part of that
effort, we recently launched the program’s first-ever alumni
magazine, The Scholar.
2 | YEAR IN REVIEW | 2010 – 2011
As you’ve already seen, it is not
your typical alumni publication.
With long-form profiles and
interviews alongside original
prose, poetry, and artwork,
The Scholar aims to capture
the startling breadth of talent
within the Morehead-Cain
community.
And we continue to broaden that pool of talent with
each incoming class. This year, we welcomed fifty-two
outstanding freshmen to the class of 2015. They will
stride into the footsteps left by a graduating class that
included two Rhodes Scholars, the University’s first
Gates Cambridge Scholar, a Luce Scholar, two Fulbright
Teaching Fellows, and four Chancellor’s Award winners,
among others.
LETTER AND PHOTO
Thank you to everyone who worked with our selections
team during the past year reading, interviewing, and
following up with nominees. If the accolades in recent
years are any indication, your efforts are paying off
handsomely for the program, the University, and most of
all for the scholars we serve.
The joy in being part of the lives of our scholars here on
campus is equaled only by the privilege of remaining part
of yours.
Thank you, and do stop in when you’re in Chapel Hill.

Aunt Mary, on behalf of the seniors, we are delighted
that you have decided to celebrate your birthday with
us, and we hope that you will continue to celebrate
with us at the after party.
Although I suggested that Chuck perform a recount when
he called me about tonight’s events, I feel honored—
and completely inadequate—to have this opportunity.
Leading up to tonight, people kept telling me to be
funny. Well if you know me, you know that I don’t really
know how to do funny all that well. Any feeble attempt
that I make at a joke will go over like the Morehead-Cain
freshman listserv that we didn’t know also included the
foundation staff. However, those of you who know me
will also know that I am not going to patronize you. I
don’t have any more of a clue than you, but at least we
don’t have a clue together.
WHO IS A MOREHEAD-CAIN?
APRIL 20, 2011
TRAVIS McELVEEN
20 | YEAR IN REVIEW | 2010 – 2011
I remember very clearly my outdoor leadership summer
approximately four years ago. I was 19; everyone in my
group was 16. It was not so much a physical test as it
was a test of patience. At the end of the course, I was
cleaning stoves with my trip leader, who, of course,
refused to swat at mosquitoes because he professed to
be one in a previous life, used homemade toothpaste,
and had a fiery red afro; needless to say, we had a lot
in common.
He noticed that the foundation funded my summer o’
fun and was curious about the scholarship. I proceeded
to dazzle him with tales of opportunities to trot the
globe, research obscure passions, and hobnob with
industries’ best. At the end of my monologue, he
beamed that he did not know that a scholarship like
that existed. Today, I would tell him: I didn’t know that
people like you existed.
We all know what a Morehead-Cain is: It goes without
saying that a Morehead-Cain is a leader, an intellectual,
an athlete, an altruist. A Morehead-Cain is all of
those things no doubt, but that does not tell us who a
Morehead-Cain is. As we are about to embark on a new
adventure, it naturally leaves us questioning whether
we have what it takes. We silently or openly wonder,
depending on how candid we are, whether we peaked
as Morehead-Cain recipients.
This is nothing new—we have faced this before—that
anxious feeling of not knowing what to do; it is the same
feeling we felt when we did not know how we fit into
this sea of blue. I know firsthand that you fit in quite well
during our time here. We are much more than Rhodes,
Luce, Gates, and Fulbright scholars, bankers, consultants,
doctors, educators, lawyers, artists. We are also friends,
partners in crime, compatriots, comrades . . . family.
But, you see, we are also not a lot of things.
Look around and you will see the best of the best. If you
are not slightly intimidated by the person to your left and
right, you have not been paying attention. But there is
something about a Morehead-Cain that no resume could
capture, that will remain whatever our circumstances.
It begs the question: Who is a Morehead-Cain?
I vividly remember one of my first encounters with a
Morehead. It was in this very banquet hall during finalist
weekend. We eyed each other with suspicion and
jockeyed for the ear of the trustee, interviewer, or staff
member at our table, even though we were assured that
they would not interview us. I remember talking with
Mr. Ken Thompson, one of the trustees. It was not
until several weeks later that the significance of that
conversation struck me. When asked what he did,
Mr. Thompson replied that he worked for Wachovia.
Later, while reading an article online, I found out that
Mr. Thompson was the CEO of Wachovia. I decided to
accept the Morehead-Cain at that moment, and it has
come to represent that humility and excellence that so
defines a Morehead-Cain.
I also remember the freshman picnic. In our usual
overzealous ways, everyone thought that we had to tell
a story from our Outward Bound and NOLS trips. It was
hot. We were sitting in the dirt. We were ready to leave
yet we still proceeded, one by one, to tell a tall tale of
our adventures. We felt that we had something to prove.
Oh, how far we’ve come . . .
A Morehead-Cain is not:
A resume . . . An organization . . . A position
What we do does not define who we are. And if what we
do does not define us, then this challenge of the real world
is simply that, a challenge. The indelible spirit that is not
content with mediocrity and that carried you so gloriously
through Carolina will, once again, carry you through.
Many of us, myself included, worry about this great
unknown and the struggles that it invariably holds. But if
there is anything that our summers have taught us, aside
from how to order a beer in ten different languages, it
is that struggle is the crucible for a Morehead-Cain.
It pushes us. It refines us. It defines the essence of what
we will stand for.
And these struggles that are a test of an individual will
soon fade into our repertoire of stories, to be told to
friends and family, to recount with each other.
So embrace the struggle. Embrace the charge that you
have been given, whether you desire it or not. Turn to this
great menacing unknown, and tell it calmly, “I have seen
you before, and things do not turn out well for you.”
So who is a Morehead-Cain? It’s you. It’s me. It’s us.

Bhangra is an upbeat, energetic dance from North India,
and it allows me to express my cultural roots while
fulfilling my psychological thirst for movement.
Every run-through, I push myself to get my squats deeper,
my back straighter, my legs higher, and my “hoi’s!” louder.

I’d grown up playing rugby in England, and upon joining UNC was
glad to find my university had a dedicated team playing at a high level.
In this, my last year, I’m lucky enough to Captain this assortment
of gentlemen, and to have achieved an undefeated season
playing alongside the closest friends of my university career.

Just back from the first all-women’s expedition to Pinnacle
Peak (6955m), an adventure that two dear, intrepid pals
and I dreamed up to follow in the hob-nailed footsteps of
Fanny Bullock Workman, an early explorer in these parts.

We have some exciting news! We will be performing a semester farewell
concert with Chancellor Holden Thorp in front of Wilson Library.
That’s right, for a few songs I will be handing over my lead guitar
duties to the Thorpedo himself. We’re honored to be playing on the
quad and honored to be sharing the stage with the Chancellor.

Essay in the May/June 2011 issue of the Carolina Alumni Review
If I were to attempt to say what India did for me — what that summer
changed in me, indelibly, what marks all the small moments and
eddies of that experience left on the bare sand of my life — I might
describe my first visit to a mining community near Kota.
I might talk about the interview I conducted with
a woman, or I should say girl, named Kamla.

Foundation (CMSF). Candidates may come to the Canadian Morehead-Cain Program either directly or through
the CMSF area committee system. Finalists are chosen
in December by a reading and interviewing committee in
Wellington, Ontario; interviews of ten finalists are conducted by the Canadian Central Selection Committee in
Toronto in mid-February.

All British secondary schools are eligible to participate
in the selection process for the Morehead-Cain.
Administration of the British Programme and selection
process is coordinated by the Morehead-Cain
Foundation, and the London-based British MoreheadCain Scholarship Committee—established by British
Morehead Alumni—oversees the selection process in
Great Britain. The scholarship committee designates
a selection committee, which interviews nominees in
London and selects two to four students to interview
as finalists in Chapel Hill. The selection committee
works closely with a number of educational charities
and associations, including the English-Speaking
Union and the Fulbright Commission, and also with
Winston House—UNC’s home in London.
