The Levine Cancer Institute and UNC Charlotte are teaming up for a new project they hope will make a difference in the world of cancer research. It's called the Charlotte Pancreatic Cancer Project.
UNC Charlotte and the Levine Cancer Institute will be making $400,000 in grants available to scientists and doctors at both institutions.
UNC Charlotte’s Student Government Association is meeting November 29 to discuss gender-neutral housing. The proposal would ask school administrators to allow students to choose roommates of the opposite sex. The student group Campus Allies has been working for more than a year to get gender neutral housing at UNCC. Anthony Dondero is a transgendered member of the group. He chose to live off campus.

The new $77 million engineering and energy building on UNC Charlotte’s campus hasn’t even had a formal grand opening ceremony, and already it’s fueling the local energy work force.
Johan Enslin underscored that point as he gave Governor Bev Perdue of the Energy Production and Infrastructure Center – or “EPIC” - which he directs. It's a four-story collection of laboratories bathed in natural light on the edge of UNC Charlotte’s campus.
One of the labs features a replica of the nerve center at Duke Energy.
E.K. Fretwell arrived at UNC Charlotte in 1979 with a national reputation as an educator. In his 10 years as chancellor, he conferred that national reputation on the one-time commuter college in the rolling countryside northeast of the city.
Fretwell died Thursday afternoon at The Cypress. He was 88.
While there were no helmets or pads, there was a lot of running.
About 85 football players, all decked out in their squeaky clean t-shirts, shorts, and cleats ran full field sprints. For the next three weeks, they’ll be doing these daily conditioning drills and learning their position techniques.
The first game is not until August 31st, 2013, over a year away. Because of that, head coach Brad Lambert says one of his biggest challenges is to keep it these practices creative.
