UNC Professor Emeritus George Sage, An’s advisor and nominator:
“An has been outstanding in his commitment toward public education, public physical education and sports. His work has made a positive impact toward improving sports in the schools, in community recreation programs and has nurtured and encouraged widespread participation in sports. An has been very active in promoting UNC. He uses his degree to tell people about the school and about his own experiences 在这里.”

“I believe that 校友 can best advance the mission of UNC by advocating for the 机构, by referring students to the campus. The 校友 network can be a powerful force in helping to market and brand the 机构 — with everyone from higher ed professionals, to government officials, to families, to potential students — these are ways alums can make a difference for UNC.”

“The 校友 are critical to the creation and continuance of a school. With state funding diminishing all the time, more and more falls on the shoulders of the 校友, which it should, because those of us who benefited from the education we received should 回馈. And it doesn’t really matter how much. It doesn’t have to be huge amounts 的钱. I mean, you think of the thousands of students who have come through this 机构. If they just each gave a small amount it adds up to an awful lot 的钱. And it’s going to be critical to the future of not just UNC but all higher education 机构.”

“校友 can help and they can reach out to other 校友 to help. For example, we can bring people who have never been 在这里 to come to Greeley and to UNC, especially the 老师. I would like the other people to come to the United States to experience our education, because I would like them to have the same good experience I have had 在这里.”

邦妮:
“We fell in love (with UNC) immediately. Our son had a wonderful experience at the University of Northern Colorado, and I would recommend that for anyone. I think what Bob and I have chosen to do is beneficial to students, and we’re trying to raise our own kids with a philosophy that doing something for other people is really good for your own soul.”
