>> BORIS ROGERS: In 1946 - Before UNC Charlotte
Was Charlotte College it was the Charlotte Center
Serving returning veterans
Offering them evening courses and here
Is where Bonnie Cone would of course set the course for this institution's progression
By finding rural property 8 miles outside of Center City
And staking our claim
We are more than 8am classes and commuter students
Pursuing passions and our futures
We are arts and culture, manifesting our creative imaginations from Rowe Arts
to Grigg Hall
back to the concert halls at Robinson
We are research and development, staking our claim in scientific discovery and global outreach
Making business connections, bridging lasting international relationships
We
are scholarships
And athletics building minds and muscle to perform on top level
We
Pride ourselves on community service
Students from various backgrounds who come from miles around to stake their claim
Here Here HERE
We are more than forty-niners
We are intellectual pioneers
Mining though our society, unearthing dynamic minds who are
Seeking an opportunity to stake their claim in this academic and artistically rich environment
so we
The citizens of this
Our county
Our city
Our community
Our university
Our diversity
Will go forth as leaders, believers, dreamers
As forty-niners
Encouraging others, to come and stake your claim
