A family whose University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill alumni extend back five generations has made an $18 million gift to the university to more than double the size of Carolina’s undergraduate entrepreneurship program, according to the Carolina Alumni Review.
The gift commitment from the Shuford family will help meet the demand of students who want to enroll in entrepreneurship courses or the minor in entrepreneurship through the addition of faculty. It also will support doubling the number of student internships at entrepreneurial firms worldwide and will encourage problem-based learning.
