MOREHEAD-CAIN FOUNDATION
WE ARE — WE DO — MORE.
It’s a bold claim, we know. But after two years of institutional
stock-taking: revisiting our mission and researching how we
are perceived and known, it’s one we’re comfortable making.
By turns an invitation or question, an expectation or description,
a goal or promise, More became the centerpiece of our new
communication—one of the highlights of the Foundation’s activities
for the academic year 2009 – 2010.
If you haven’t visited our website recently (www.moreheadcain.org),
I hope you’ll take a moment to do so. It is here that More comes to
life through the words of Scholars and Alumni themselves—words
excerpted from blog entries, summer travel journals, news articles,
and e-mails and letters to the Foundation. These “snapshots” of the
lives, interests, thoughts, and
pursuits of our Scholars and
Alumni do more to express the
qualities that distinguish the
Morehead-Cain from other
scholarship programs and elite
collegiate experiences than any
institutional descriptions could
hope to.
In this manner, we aim to give
prospective Scholars, their
parents and counselors, and
other visitors to the site the opportunity to experience the
Morehead-Cain in a way as close to firsthand as we can offer it. And
as a Program at home with firsts, we think firsthand is only fitting.
We are pleased to have heard from many of you that your own
experience browsing the new site has been a palpable reminder
of your days as a Scholar at Carolina, as well as an unintentionally
time-consuming activity as you read one after another of the compelling, thoughtful, often riotously funny snapshots you find there.
2009–2010 marked the 65th year of the Morehead-Cain.
In this year, as in our first, we kept in view our long-ago defined
purpose—to identify, invest in, and inspire promising leaders.
The following pages offer the highlights of a year marked by
remaining true to that purpose. The year proffered success in
identifying a premier new class of Scholars (see page 68 for
your first look at the Class of 2014). Current Scholars once
again returned on our investment in them by impacting Carolina
and communities around the world in ever better and more
far-reaching ways. Scholars and Alumni inspired each other
through the fifth triennial Alumni Forum—the best-attended
Forum so far (see page six for a recap of Forum highlights).
You will also, as always, see your own essential part in fulfilling
the purpose of the Morehead-Cain. As your names fill the lists of
volunteers for our selection process, you helped us identify the
extraordinary group of promising leaders that make up the Class
of 2014. Your names also fill pages of those who invested in the
Program and, through us, in Carolina (see page 76 for the year’s
Honor Roll of Giving). And many of you—too many to list—served
as sponsors for our Summer Enrichment Program, as participants
in our Alumni-in-Residence and Alumni Speaker Series programs,
as panelists, speakers, and volunteers for the Alumni Forum, and
as Alumni readers in our selection process. Inspiring, indeed.
Thank you for all you do to make the Morehead-Cain More. We
look forward to another great year in 2011, and hope to see you
in Chapel Hill—and on the website—soon.

The Fifth Triennial Alumni Forum saw Carolina
and the Morehead community at their finest.
With more than 400 Alumni, guests, and
current Scholars in attendance, and nearly 100
Alumni participating as panelists, speakers,
or planners, the weekend—advertised for
relaxation and refreshment—was marked by
energy and excitement. How very Morehead.

Just to illustrate the extent of my struggle . . . even
after I started my own firm, I quit twice in an effort
to achieve balance . . . once to get married and then
to have our sons, who are now four and three. Side
lesson: quitting does not achieve balance. It creates
imbalance in the other direction. And what’s the point
of owning your own business if you have to quit?
The upshot of the new noble vampire—the
gentleman vampire, the vegetarian vampire, the
existential-lost-soul-on-the-path-toward-redemption
vampire—is not only that it's hard to be scared
of these vampires. It's often hard to imagine one
good reason why one wouldn't want to be a
vampire oneself.
So what to do at this juncture? The self-help gurus
will tell you: slow down, lower your expectations,
learn to say no . . . but these words don’t resonate
with Morehead-Cain Scholars. For me, the solution
was not at all profound. It was very simple. It just
took a few years to grasp. Don’t quit the firm . . .
change the firm. And if you don’t like the answers
in front of you, change the question.
They are super fast, super strong, super-sensory
beings who all happen to be astonishingly attractive.
And imagine how many skills one could learn,
much less all the books one could read, the
languages one could speak, the art one could
appreciate, if one lived forever.

Without the downside of eternal damnation or the
surrender to predatory rages, what's not to love?
The question then was what to do. I was a newly
minted MBA. I didn’t feel as if I really had the ability
to start a company, but the mentors, they said, “No,
you can do it, and even if you fail, you’ll be farther
along in your life than if you don’t try this.” So what
did we do? We pulled together a diverse team—an
engineer, a marketer, and myself—and we decided
that what we would do was create this thing called
Insure Market. As my wife would say, we would’ve
been successful if we’d stopped there, but we
wanted to change the world.
When I talk to folks who are baby boomers and
above, they fear two things: they fear outliving their
money, which, given the current economic situation,
is not surprising, and then they fear outliving their
minds. And those fears are actually not unfounded.
We peak in almost any measure of cognitive
performance in our twenties. From that point, by
the time you hit fifty, you’re operating at half of your
peak performance, and every decade after that you
lose some, until, if you’re lucky enough to live until
you’re ninety, you’re operating at less than ten percent of your brain capacity. And the question, when I
began to look at this space, was, “Is this inevitable?”
And you’re going to be happy to learn that the
answer is “no.”

So my friend some years ago had a difficult time
with his son’s first birthday party. The young lad
selected a purple piñata, so they got a great big
purple horse. And they took a big wiffle bat, and
gave it to a big kid, who spiked it, crushing the
thing, and as the purple horse piñata broke open,
my friend told me, nothing came out. Why did
nothing come out? Because he and his wife hadn’t
filled it. Why had he and his wife not filled it?
Because they didn’t know you needed to buy the
candy, toys, and trinkets to fill a piñata. Why didn’t
they know that? They didn’t know that because
their experience of piñatas up to that point in their
lives was that whenever you hit it . . .
Why middle school? It’s when you get ready for
algebra. It’s when you really understand why you
have to manage anger in your emotions. It’s when
you’re ready to dream and take action. In reality, it’s
when you decide whether you’re going to be a good
girl or a bad girl. It’s when you decide if you’re going
to be a good boy, or a bad boy. It’s about building
character. It’s about enduring bullying. It’s about
time management and organizational skills—all the
things you have to do in order to be successful as
a high school student and, I would suggest, it’s all
the things you had to be able to do and to know
successfully in order to become a Morehead
Scholar. If you would, for a moment right now,
sometime today or sometime before you return to
life as you lead it outside this room, would you take
some time to reflect on what you were like as a
sixth grader, seventh grader, or eighth grader. And
I know for some of us there are some things you
did at that age you hope no one ever remembers.
Sometimes I worry or wonder that we as Americans
think that at the end of our lives, our financial lives,
whether it’s social security, the lottery, or what have
you, there will be something in that piñata when we
hit it. But the truth is, just like my friends discovered,
you have to fill it yourself.
So I ask you. Spend some time. Go into middle
schools and preferably the one that produced you.
Show them how you became what you are. Don’t
just tell them. Take your passport—show them the
stamps in it. Take some pictures. If you don’t do
DVDs, find a child. Pay them in cash, food, or
athletic tickets, and they will produce a DVD for you.
I was at one time the mayor of the city of Charlotte
and I got humiliated fairly early on in that process—
there were other humiliations to come—but this one
was one in which I was speaking at a place and I
was very proud to be there, to be invited, and there
were several thousand people there. And as I went
in to make my talk, I went into the restroom and
this one had, not towels, but hand-dryers. And
somebody had put over the hand-dryer, “Push this
button for a few words from Charlotte’s mayor.”
I called Coach Smith one time, who was one of my
heroes. I was one of the worst players who ever
played in Chapel Hill. I sat a lot. I had called Coach
Smith 15 years ago or so. I had gotten a call from a
prominent banker in south Florida who said, “There’s
a kid at West Palm Beach High School who is one
of the best players in the country and he wants to go
to Chapel Hill.” And he said, “For whatever reason,
Coach Smith visited [the player’s] home and he never
called [him] thereafter.” He said, “You need to call
Coach Smith and tell him he needs to get this kid.
He’s going to play in the NBA someday.” And I called
Coach Smith and he said, “You’re right. He’s a great
player. He’s one of the best three or four players in
the country.” He went on to become an All-American
at Florida, and he went on to play 15 years in the
NBA. He was a great player. Coach Smith said, “He’s
got a great reputation in terms of his playing ability.
He’s got great statistics. But I went into his home
and I did not like the way he treated his mother. I’m
not going to recruit him to Chapel Hill.”

What advice would
you give to your
eighteen-year-old self?
ELIZABETH KISTIN ’04
DAVE BERNATH ’89
After taking a break from her studies as a Rhodes
Scholar at Oxford University to work on Barack Obama’s
presidential campaign in her home state of New Mexico,
Liz is working on her PhD dissertation (on the effects
of transnational water cooperation in southern Africa)
for the Department of International Development Studies
at Oxford.
As the executive vice president for program
strategy and multiplatform programming at
Comedy Central, Dave has brought some of the
network’s biggest hits to the small screen. Before
joining Comedy Central in 2005, he served as
Vice President of Programming at BBC America
and was instrumental in bringing the original
version of ‘The Office’ to the U.S.
I think the real crux of it is about staying open to
opportunities, and really being willing to chase after things
you never thought you were going to end up doing.
I had some help with this when I came to Carolina. I
walked in the door, and I had a schedule that sort of
reflected things I was good at in high school. So it was
a schedule that had calculus and statistics and physics
and stuff like that.
I was lucky enough to walk into the office of an advisor. . .
and walk out taking Spanish literature, and English
literature, and a classics course.
It was a good push right out the door.
So I think that really is the crux of it. . . to be open to all
sorts of things that you never dreamed of doing.

Lauren has taught middle school English, coached
track in New Mexico, and led outdoor trips around
the world. She now serves as the director of Muddy
Sneakers, an Appalachian-based non-profit providing
outdoor science education to public school students.
A second-year student at the UNC School of Medicine,
Amit somehow finds time to serve as a Representative
of Student Affairs in the Whitehead Medical Society,
interpret for Spanish-speaking patients at the SHAC
free health clinic, play soccer, and salsa dance. During
his time as a Morehead-Cain Scholar, Amit interned
at the World Health Organization in Geneva and
conducted health education clinics in rural Ghana.
As a founding partner of Parish Capital
Advisors, Wendell helped grow the investment
firm into a billion-dollar enterprise and one of
the largest minority-owned asset management
companies in the world. He currently serves
as chairman of Worldwide Distribution, LLC,
a Norfolk-based construction supply firm.
I came into Carolina and knew that I wanted to
be a journalist, so I went to work for the Daily Tar
Heel and then went to the Detroit Free Press for
this internship. And I hated it—hated it—and I had
a little panic attack. I had put myself into that little
box already; I had thought “this is my skill set, and
this is what I want to do, and now I’m doing it”
and then it was like . . . *gasp*. So I would say to
myself: it’s amazing to be able to stop and say,
“You know . . . organic farming sounds really
fascinating . . .” and maybe look into that.
Like Lauren, and Wendell, and Dave, and Liz, I’ve
spent the last couple of days thinking about this
question, but unlike them, instead of thinking about
what I would say, I was just hoping I wouldn’t be the
last one to answer it. Because now I’m just going to
say the same thing that all four of them did.
It’s rare in your life that you get four years to
explore and do so much.
You have four years to just immerse yourself,
and just BE.
My college experience was so much better when I was
more relaxed and could be more like a sponge, just
absorbing things. But don’t be like a sponge on a dry
countertop where there’s nothing to absorb. Set a
good environment. Carolina’s a great environment for
that. Meet as many people as you can, and let their
ideas be inspiration for your ideas.

MORE ON AMBASSADOR SIR CHRISTOPHER MEYER
Morehead-Cain Alumni Distinguished Visiting Professor
"SETTING THE CAT AMONG THE PIGEONS,"
SO TO SPEAK
Morehead-Cain Alumni E-News
by Eric Johnson, January 31, 2010
Barely halfway through his first UNC class, Sir Christopher Meyer beamed with mischievous glee as students
tried to guess who might’ve been the most boring dinner
party guest in late ’90s Washington, D.C.
Meyer’s wife, Lady Catherine Meyer, was answering a
question about diplomatic spouses when she mentioned
the agony of being cornered at embassy parties by one
particularly dull American official.
“I don’t know if I can name names . . .” Lady Catherine
demurred. But Sir Christopher, as students are already
calling him, would have none of it.
“Give clues, give clues!” he urged as the class burst into
laughter.
Before long, it emerged that Alan Greenspan was the
renowned bore, refusing to talk about anything other
than commodities trading. At this revelation, Sir Christopher turned sternly toward the class and summoned all
the seriousness of a former British ambassador to the
United States.
“If you ever find yourself sitting next to Alan Greenspan,”
he warned the undergraduates of Honors 353, “now you
know what to talk about.”
And so it went for more than an hour, as the first
Morehead-Cain Alumni Distinguished Visiting Professor
held forth on everything from British journalism to the
byzantine complexity of American government.
By the end of class, it was easy to forget that Meyer
and his wife were speaking from London, linked to
UNC through the high-tech gadgetry of Peabody Hall.
Students asked questions and cracked jokes as Meyer
peered down from two giant projector screens. Cameras
mounted on the wall of the classroom ensured that
Meyer could see all of the action in Chapel Hill.

MOREHEAD-CAIN FOUNDATION
“A monstrous regiment of Tar Heels!” Meyer exclaimed
as students greeted him through the video link.
It was a dazzling start to Ambassador Meyer’s tenure
teaching “Empire & Diplomacy,” a course designed in
conjunction with UNC-Chapel Hill English Professor
Ted Leinbaugh.
Thanks to the generosity of Morehead-Cain Alumni,
about forty students—including several current Morehead-Cain Scholars—will spend the semester enjoying
the wit and wisdom of one of Great Britain’s most
distinguished former diplomats.
“This is a special course,” Leinbaugh promised on the
first day of class. “We’re inventing it as it goes along,
basically.”
Leinbaugh and his students will have plenty of material
to work with. The syllabus runs from the Akkadian Empire to the current war in Afghanist
ny topic in between.
In addition to his time as ambassador to the United
States from 1997 to 2003, Meyer has served as
ambassador to Germany, held posts in Spain and the
Soviet Union, and served as press secretary to Prime
Minster John Major.
In recent years, he has been thrust into the limelight
of British politics by his controversial memoir,
DC Confidential. The book, first published in 2005,
recounts vivid details of Meyer’s time in Washington,
including the run-up to the Iraq War.
Students are reading the memoir for class and have
found that Meyer does not pull punches. “Meyer’s
Washington reminiscences are sensational,” wrote
Simon Jenkins in the Guardian newspaper in 2005.
“He portrays the prime minister [Tony Blair] as a starstruck wimp and his cabinet as a bunch of ‘pygmies.’”
Not surprisingly, the publication of DC Confidential
caused a significant uproar for the British government.
Or, as Meyer put it to the class, the book “set the cat
among the pigeons.”
How the book made it through a pre-publication review
by Britain’s Cabinet Office was discussed at length
during class. Meyer told students that he expected at
least some push-back from government reviewers and
was thoroughly surprised when none came.
“I thought to myself, ‘Damn! I should have put more sex
in it!’”
Matt Garza ’09, one of the student members of the
committee that selected Meyer for the Morehead-Cain
Alumni professorship, said the ambassador’s easy
rapport with students was a key factor in selecting
him for the award.
“You really get the sense that he loves to interact
with students,” Garza said. “Even though he’s been
in the highest reaches of international politics and
leadership, he’s drawn to an academic and educational
environment.”
Leinbaugh agreed, telling of Meyer’s enthusiasm when
the idea for the “Empire & Diplomacy” class was first
broached.
Meyer will teach remotely from London for the next
several weeks, with Leinbaugh leading half the sessions.
In mid-March, following Spring Break, Meyer will travel
to Chapel Hill to spend at least two weeks on campus.
After a well-attended series of public lectures in
December, when Meyer traveled to UNC for the first
time, Leinbaugh is already working to coordinate a
number of campus events for the March visit.
“It’s such a remarkable opportunity,” Leinbaugh said.
“We want to get the most out his time.”
MORE ON HOGAN MEDLIN ’11
Then Student Body President-elect
MEDLIN PREPS FOR 2010–11 ISSUES
The Daily Tar Heel
by Andy Thomason, February 17, 2010
At the beginning of his first day as Student Body
President-elect, Hogan Medlin was reminded of his
new and improved status at UNC.
“I woke up this morning to like, 87 e-mails,” he said.
Most were congratulatory, but several were from former
UNC student body presidents with advice for the junior
on how to prepare himself for next year, he said.
During this almost two-month transition until his April 13
inauguration, Medlin, who defeated fellow junior Shruti
Shah in the runoff election Tuesday with 61 percent
of the vote, said he will spend time with Student Body
President Jasmin Jones to discuss her experience as
president.
Along with talking with eliminated student body president
candidates about their ideas and deciding which of
Jones’ projects he will continue, Medlin said he will
look for insight on what might be the University’s most
pressing issue next year—tuition.
The 2010 –11 school year will likely see a more intense
budget process than past years, with trustees calling
for larger tuition increases and a continuing state
budget crunch.
As a result, Medlin’s role in the talks could take on even
more prominence, as he will have to represent students’
interests through a series of potentially heated talks.
Some members of the Board of Trustees have expressed
concern that UNC’s tuition increases were too low in
light of budget problems.
After voting unanimously for a 5.2 percent tuition
increase this past year, trustees said UNC was too
resistant to higher tuition hikes. The board voted on that
increase on the same day the University of California
system raised tuition by an unprecedented 32 percent.
The student body president is one of two chairmen
on the tuition and fee advisory task force, which sends
fee proposals to the chancellor, who then makes a
recommendation to the Board of Trustees. The president
is also the sole student representative on the Board of
Trustees.
Medlin—who said he is interested in a transparent
process and affordable tuition—said he will begin
working on the issue next week because he believes
it will be especially prominent next year.
Eventually, Medlin said he hopes to hold several town
hall meetings to allow students to voice their concerns
about tuition.
“I don’t like the idea of closed door conversations
about tuition,” Medlin said.
Along with outlining his vision for next year’s tuition
process, Medlin said he will spend the coming months
understanding his role as leader of the student body.
Jones said the transition period is a time for the
president-elect to acquaint himself with the role.
But Medlin said he will focus mostly on understanding
the character of Jones’ relationships with other student
leaders and administrators.
“Until she walks out of that office, I’m going to be picking
her brain,” he said.

MORE ON THE EVE MARIE CARSON CAROLINA WAY SCHOLARSHIP
CARSON REMEMBERED WITH MOREHEAD-CAIN SCHOLARSHIP
The Daily Tar Heel
by Katia Martinez, June 17, 2010
Former Student Body President Eve Marie Carson will be honored
by a Morehead-Cain scholarship in her name.
The foundation that brought Eve Marie Carson to UNC now has
plans to help carry on her legacy.
The Chapel Hill-based Morehead-Cain Foundation has endowed a
merit scholarship with $400,000 to honor the former student body
president, who was killed in March 2008.
The Eve Marie Carson Carolina Way Scholarship will accept one
student every four years. It will cover the full cost of tuition, fees,
room and board. Its first recipient is expected as early as the 2011–12
school year.
“Eve Carson embodied everything that phrase (Carolina Way)
represents,” said Megan Mazzocchi, associate director of the
Morehead-Cain Foundation.
“In simple terms, the Carolina Way is ‘excellence with a heart.’
That is what Eve was all about.”
Carson was a Morehead-Cain Scholar from Athens, Ga. She studied
abroad in Cuba and spent her college summers in Wyoming,
Ecuador and Egypt on trips funded through Morehead-Cain summer
enrichment programs.
The scholarship will give preference to out-of-state applicants.

MOREHEAD-CAIN FOUNDATION
Current UNC students believe that the scholarship is an appropriate
way to honor Carson’s memory.
“It’s something that a lot of people care a lot about,” junior Paige
Smith said. “And I think it’s great to incorporate the issue with
helping students.”
Some students see it as a good way to promote education.
“I think that’s great,” junior Melissa Auton said. “The more people
that can have the ability to attend UNC, the better.”
Those involved with the foundation hope that eventually the Carolina
Way scholarship will be able to accept more scholars into the
program.
“As the Eve Marie Carson Carolina Way Scholarship Endowment
Fund grows, the number of scholars will also be able to grow,”
Mazzocchi said.
“The fund is set up so that others can make donations if they would
like to help us honor Eve by bringing some of the nation’s best
students to the Carolina campus.”
The Carolina Way Scholarship will center its selection basis on
having a well-rounded individual. It will select its recipient based on
similar ideals as the Morehead-Cain Scholarship does.
“Recipients will be chosen for academic excellence, observable
optimism and enthusiasm, and a proclivity to connect and engage
diverse people,” Scott Ragland, UNC director of development
communications, stated in an e-mail.
It will also provide the recipient with special programming, including
research grants, summer enrichment opportunities and study abroad.
Mazzocchi hopes to use the scholarship as a vehicle to share
Carson’s character and the “Carolina Way” with incoming and future
students.
This is the second UNC scholarship to honor Carson. The first, the Eve
Marie Carson Memorial Junior-Year Merit Scholarship, funds a summer
experience for students after their junior year and financial aid for their
senior year.
“There will never be another Eve Carson,” Mazzocchi said. “However, with the Eve Marie Carson Carolina Way Scholarship, we are
hoping the University will be able to attract students who share Eve’s
remarkable intelligence, enthusiasm and optimism.”
“Learn from
every single being,
experience,
and moment.
What joy it is
to search for
lessons and
goodness and
enthusiasm
in others.”

Much like the open-air train at the Birmingham Zoo, you
can see tons of plants, animals, and even parts of the
waterfalls. Once reaching the destination, we hiked through
jungle and across the river to the edge of the Devil’s Throat,
an incredible site you get so close to that your camera,
sunglasses, and entire body are misted by the waterfall’s
spray. Tons of people were wearing ponchos for this, but
I personally think that’s weak sauce.

Biweekly Report, June 2010,
interning at the Concordia Sentinel
One cool thing about where I live is that the Mississippi is
basically in my backyard. It’s only about three streets over,
and I cross it every day to get to the newspaper office.
Natchez sits on a bluff that I’ve run along and gotten a nice
view of the river. Apparently Natchez is the second-oldest city
along the Mississippi, behind New Orleans by a year or two.

This summer, I discovered that I possess not only a thirst
for knowledge (which I’ve known since preschool), but a
thirst for experience—for hard, gritty, cow-ridden,
mango-infused experience . . .

†To begin a senior honors thesis,
a student must have an overall
grade point average of at least
3.2. Under faculty guidance, the
Scholar conducts a research or
creative project, which results in
an honors thesis. The thesis is defended before a faculty committee
and successful candidates are
recommended for graduation with
honors. The additional accolade
of graduation “with highest honors” indicates the exceptionally
accomplished student and a thesis that exemplifies the highest
possible level of undergraduate
scholarship. Not every department recommends a candidate
for “highest honors” each year.

Discovery Fund Final Report, May 2009
Imad Sabri, one of Damascus’s greatest artists, agreed to give me private
lessons on Arabic calligraphy. It was a wonderful experience, and I was
very lucky, as he does not normally take students. Over the classes we
became friends, and he took me to exhibitions and we explored the
Damascene art scene together. I learned so much. Not only about art,
but I also practiced doing calligraphy with Arabic poetry. These classes
were so inspiring, and I feel I know much more. I have improved my artistic
style tremendously.

Blog post, July 7, 2010
Proof that Voltaire was a genius.
This chair, on display at the Carnavalet Museum of Paris History, was
apparently designed for philosopher Voltaire at the end of his life,
when he was too ill to be mobile. Because Voltaire was determined to
continue writing and reading literally until his death, the chair has a book
container/table and writing stand, both of which swing out from the chair.
I really want one in my apartment.

So he’s way across the room. No one has nametags, but
I got close enough to see that he’s got this VIP badge.
It’s a special FIFA badge, and it says, “Henry Alfred
Kissinger.”
So I walked over, and I was like, “Hey! It’s good to see
another American.”
He got so excited! He gave his cane to his wife, and
shook my hand. I figured I should probably gracefully
walk way and not bother him anymore. But we ended up
having this six-minute conversation about . . . everything.
Politics, soccer, South Africa. Just all sorts of things.
I wanted so bad to ask him what he was doing after
that game. But the game didn’t end until about 11:30,
and Henry Kissinger is, you know, like 88 years old.

I ate lunch at the table next to
Don Cheadle’s. I was hugged by a
man in a gorilla costume. I met a
bunch of chain-smoking Peace Corps
volunteers. I narrowly escaped
participating in a small riot.
And I shook the hand of the
Rwandan president, Paul Kagame.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Dear Alumni and Friends,
It has been a great honor to serve as the first Alumni chair of the Morehead-Cain Scholarship
Fund. During my time as chair I have seen the Fund grow to $14 million due to the generous
contributions of our donors, a board of directors committed to maintaining the preeminence
of the Program, Trustees and staff that uphold the vision of the Foundation while encouraging
innovation, and a talented group of Scholars poised to lead and impact the world.
Charged with receiving and managing contributions for the support and enhancement of the
Morehead-Cain, each year the Fund distributes annual fund gifts and investment revenue to
support scholarships, programming, summer enrichment experiences, Scholar selection, and
administrative costs—costs that total about $9 million annually. We are proud to report that
that since its inception the Fund has distributed $3.6 million to the Morehead-Cain Foundation.
This year 900 donors contributed almost $930,000 through the annual fund, Alumni Forum
sponsorships, and endowment gifts with total contributions growing by 13 percent. We are
grateful for the support and generosity of so many Alumni, parents, and friends who choose
to invest in the future of Morehead-Cain leaders through outright and deferred gifts.
But just as we ask more of our Scholars and challenge them to use their gifts to have a
positive impact on the world, we too, need to do more. In a time of economic uncertainty and
increasing higher education costs, your contributions make a difference.
I look forward to seeing the continued growth of the Scholarship Fund as I place it in the
charge of our new chair, Keith Cowan ’78, and a talented board of directors who are devoted
to ensuring that the Morehead-Cain endures as the unparalleled undergraduate merit scholarship program.
I thank you for joining me in investing in impact.

GIVING TO CAROLINA THROUGH THE MOREHEAD-CAIN
WHY CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE SO IMPORTANT . . .
The Morehead-Cain Foundation continues to advance its founding vision—to identify,
invest in, and inspire promising leaders. Your investment is important because it
allows for the advancement of these Scholars, who are charged to use their gifts to
make a positive and profound impact at Carolina and beyond. And it is a purpose
that is not without challenges:
THE COSTS OF THE MOREHEAD-CAIN

In-State

• Investment performance must cover the distribution required of private foundations
(5 percent) and academic inflation (6 percent) just to break even. In this uncertain
economic environment, it is improbable that investment performance will consistently exceed this benchmark.

• A budget provision enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly in 2005
allows all full-scholarship recipients to be considered in-state for tuition purposes,
a measure that enables the Foundation to offer approximately one-third more
Scholarships than it otherwise would be able to fund. However, this provision is
not permanent and could be repealed at any time.
• The University announced an unexpected 18 percent increase in tuition that will
add $220,000 in additional expenses for the academic year.
• Although a provision permitting us to pay in-state tuition for our out-of-state
Scholars has allowed us an annual savings of $2 million (the equivalent of 10
scholarships) in recent years, this provision remains uncertain as long as state
budget challenges persist.
Morehead-Cain Scholar Enrichment & Advising
*Without the in-state tuition provision, total annual costs for each out-of-state Scholar would be $44,112

FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE JOHN MOTLEY MOREHEAD SOCIETY
HONORED AT ALUMNI FORUM
“. . . the most important investment that can be made for a people is that which is made
in the education and training, as leaders, of those who have been endowed . . . with the
capacity for leadership.”
Written in 1945, these are the words and vision of John Motley Morehead III—a vision that
has become a permanent legacy as the Morehead-Cain stands today as the nation’s first
and most prestigious merit scholarship. Partnering with Mr. Morehead in this legacy are the
founding members of the John Motley Morehead Society. The following individuals were the
first to let the Foundation know that they had included the Program in their estate plans.
Honored at the 2009 Alumni Forum, we are pleased to again recognize their investment in
the Morehead-Cain:

A planned-giving society established in 2007, the John Motley Morehead Society pays tribute to
the founder of the Morehead-Cain Scholars Program. Mr. Morehead established a trust in 1945
to support the Scholars Program, and turned his commitment into a permanent legacy through a
substantial additional gift by bequest in 1965.
Membership in this Society is open to all Alumni, parents, and friends who document a bequest,
retirement plan designation, charitable trust, or gift annuity to benefit the Morehead-Cain
Scholarship Fund. Because any gift to the Morehead-Cain Scholarship Fund is a gift to UNCChapel Hill, donors also receive recognition in the University’s Charles Gerrard Legacy Society.

SENIOR CLASS CAMPAIGN 2010
Top-ranked schools and programs. Global
experience through study abroad. Access
to rare library collections. Admission to
world-class performances. These are just
some of the amazing benefits of being a Tar
Heel; benefits that students are learning are
largely provided by private giving. Through
the Senior Campaign for Carolina students are
aware of this fact now more than ever and are
becoming donors themselves. Since 2007, in
place of a class gift, seniors are encouraged
to support the school, unit, student organization, or scholarship of their choice, helping
them understand the importance of giving
and how to make an impact where it means
the most to them.
Fifty-five percent of Morehead-Cain senior
Scholars participated in the Senior Class
Campaign, raising just under $1,500 to
support areas such as the Chancellor’s Fund,
Carolina Covenant, University libraries,
the Eve Carson Scholarship Fund, and the
Morehead-Cain. Morehead-Cain Scholars are
challenged to give back and we very much
appreciate the Class of 2010’s support of the
Carolina and Morehead-Cain communities.
