Moeser Selected as Keynote Speaker

UNC Men‘s Crew is proud to announce that former University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill Chancellor James Moeser is the keynote speaker for the All-Class Reunion Benefit formal dinner.

Moeser began his tenure as chancellor at our university on August 15,  2000.  He has since overseen and introduced many historic changes and improvements for the university, including the Carolina  covenant, Carolina Connects initiative, expansions of current genome research at the university, and the passing of a referendum for the nation's largest higher education bond package.

In addition, Moeser oversaw the Carolina First Campaign, the most successful fundraising effort in University history, raising $2.38 billion to finish as the largest completed drive at a university in the South.

Moeser announced on September 26, 2007 that he would relinquish his

position as Chancellor in June of 2008. Moeser was succeeded by Holden Thorp. Following a yearlong sabbatical, Moeser returned to UNC as a professor in the music department.

His career began in 1966 at the University of Kansas. In 1986 he joined The Pennsylvania State University, later serving as the vice president for academic affairs and provost of the University of South Carolina.

A native of Colorado City, Texas, and a Fulbright Scholar, he earned two degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and a doctorate from the University of Michigan.
