Laura and Christopher Tew ’69 first met at UNCG in a German language class in the winter of 1966. Sixty years later, they remain committed alumni and active members of the UNCG community.

Their recent gift established the Laura Braxton Tew and Christopher C. Tew Ignite Transdisciplinary Research Spending Fund in the College of Arts & Sciences. The fund will support collaborative research teams, helping researchers connect ideas and expertise across disciplines.

The Tews hope the fund will inspire further support and strengthen UNCG’s research community for years to come. Read more about the Tews and their recent gift: https://giving.uncg.edu/from-campus-sweethearts-to-catalysts-for-discovery/

This morning we were proud to attend the unveiling of the historical marker honoring Virginia Tucker.

Tucker graduated from the North Carolina College for Women (NCCW, now UNC Greensboro) in 1930, with a degree in mathematics. She was a pioneer in the aeronautics and mechanical engineering fields, paving a path for women in STEM.

Tucker's education at NCCW provided a foundation that led to a remarkable career, including roles with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, now NASA) and Northrop Aviation Corporation. She was also an active advocate for women in engineering, serving as a director for the Society of Women Engineers.

Thank you to UNCG Special Collections & University Archives and everyone involved in making this honor possible!
