UNC President Margaret Spellings on selection of Dr. Mary Grant as new Institute president

“It has been a distinct privilege and pleasure to serve alongside Chancellor Grant for the past 18 months,” said UNC President Margaret Spellings. “Mary exemplifies integrity, innovation, and strong character—and her authenticity, humility, and insightfulness have been the cornerstone for her remarkable success as Chancellor these past three years. This is no doubt a loss for UNCA and the University of North Carolina System—but we can all agree that North Carolina—and particularly the west—is a better place because of Chancellor Grant’s leadership. Congratulations to Mary—and we look forward to hearing about her continued success in Boston.”
