UNC Charlotte Tour

Saturday we toured UNC Charlotte, Conrad's alma mater and a potential school for Chrissy. One of the interesting sights was the monument at left, representing a giant quill. Much to our amusement, Chrissy and most of the other students on the tour were clueless as to what a quill actually was!

Conrad barely recognized the campus from his days as a Tarhill defensive tackle. In the 25 years since Conrad's graduation, UNC Charlotte has grown from a school with 9,000 students to one with a student body of 21,600 people who are pursuing a wide range of doctorates, master’s and undergraduate degrees.

In 2013, the Charlotte campus will be home to a new Division 1 football team. Not soon enough for Chrissy, though, who has her heart set on cheering in 2009.
