Charles E. Lovelace, Jr. ’77 Executive Director

FroM THe DIreCTor

Dear Friends,

In his autobiography, our benefactor Gordon Cain wrote, “With no false modesty I must say that everything I have done has depended more on others than on me. If I have any advice to give a young person, it is to associate yourself with the brightest people you can. Some of it may rub off.” At our sixth triennial Morehead-Cain Alumni Forum in October, it was hard to know who was benefiting more from Mr. Cain’s advice—our current scholars or our alumni, who span three generations. Inspiration flowed freely in both directions. Old friendships were renewed and plenty of new ones were forged, and the positive impact of the Forum continued to resonate throughout the rest of the academic year. Our sincere appreciation goes to organizers and co-chairs Monica Parham ’90 and Terry Bowman ’85, to our speakers and discussion leaders, and to everyone who attended. We hope to see all of you (and more) at the next Forum in 2015. This year we pay special tribute to the memories of Trustee Emeritus Frank Borden Hanes, Sr. and Morehead-Cain Scholar Laura Rozo. Laura was a member of the class of 2014 and lost her battle with cancer in April of this year. In February, as the final speaker at the TEDxUNC conference, she courageously inspired us to be open to all that life has to offer. Frank, who passed away in July, was a Foundation trustee for 34 years and a great friend to the University. He loved Carolina, its faculty, and its students, and he was very proud of the impact that our scholars have had on its success year after year. As we close the book on the 68th year of the Morehead-Cain Foundation, we reflect on the achievements of a community of scholars and alumni as vibrant as ever. It is an honor to work with such remarkable scholars, alumni, trustees, staff, and supporters of the Morehead-Cain Foundation. Mr. Cain’s wisdom certainly holds true for us as we acknowledge that our success depends on so many others. Thank you. Finally, we join the entire Carolina family in welcoming Chancellor Carol Folt to the University. May she be brave and bold in her leadership of this “priceless gem.” Have a wonderful year, and please visit us at the Foundation whenever you are in Chapel Hill.

Sincerely,

BeNToN MoSS ’15Interview with Morehead-Cain Scholar Delegate Oliver Rose ’13.

Private Enterprise Internship: The New York Yankees

When I go back to UNC in the fall, my biggest takeaway from working here is the importance of being a servant. As an intern, you do big

things and small things. I think you should never be too proud to get your knees dirty and do the stuff and the work that other people

don’t want to do. That’s how it is when you start out. It’s been a good experience from that standpoint.

When you’re a student athlete at UNC, people regard you a little differently. But when you enter the corporate environment,

everybody is the same. There are no favorites or preferential treatment. It’s just how hard you work and how loyal you are to the

company. It’s a different environment and a learning experience. It’s been good.

Poetry for Should Does

Wisteria Study

The pines become wysteria trees.Spring, once another yearly season,

now brings lavender, grape blooming.

The pines, so immortal seeming,choking slowly with the weightof lacy vines. The oaks are too,

and the maples, and the poplars:

trees of every name and shapein the shadows of the petals of

the weed. The park behind my house

is dying underneath the infestation.We can still pull them down, faster

than the fastest they can grow.But it would take all day, and many

days, so many of us, the work glovesand the leverage. Maybe the rangers

have a plan or a professor’s

working on a study: “Doesbeauty justify itself, even when it

brings complete destruction?”

While I think that Morehead-Cains are exceptionally good at seeing the glasses as half-full, I hope you’ll all

take a moment to think about what it is that fills up your metaphorical glass. Be that water, as it is for me,

or another opportunity that the Morehead-Cain has provided to help you feel full. So, cheers!

Closing speech at TEDxUNC. February 8, 2013.

When I was 18, I had the word “success” stamped on my forehead. I was focused on what I wanted to do—always looking forward, crossing things off the checklist, and living for the future. I was caught up in the work, and the grades, and the pressure. I thoughtmy life was an exponential function. The next point on that trajectory took me to Portugal, backpacking from North to South and working on a public service project for two months in the Azores Islands. It was an amazing summer that wrapped up a great first year of college. I had plans to backpack all over Europe—France, Italy, Germany, and Spain! But then, things changed. My leg was swelling. I mean, it was swelling a lot. And although I tried to endure through the pain, one day a friend insisted that I go to the hospital. So we started to walk to the hospital, but I couldn’t walk after a few minutes. Eventually we flagged down a police officer, and in broken Portuguese, I asked for a ride. We arrived at the hospital and we waited. We waited for the doctors to tell me what was wrong.

We waited . . . nine . . . long . . . hours. And then, a nurse told me that she needed to call the oncologist.

While I took chemotherapy, I also took flying lessons. While I underwent radiation, I also went indoor sky diving. And while I went through the torture of living with needles, beeping machines, and excruciating pain,

I still managed to teach salsa lessons from my hospital bed. You know, death is not a threat, but the condition that maximizes my life. Then, after 54 weeks of treatment and going in and out of the hospital, my doctor told me

that I was in remission. Remission! But only three months later, I relapsed. The cancer was back. This time, I didn’t ask anyone. This time, I just went skydiving. I made my little brother go too. We jumped off the plane.

It was liberating. After my relapse and skydiving experience, I started another round of chemo. I wanted to beat cancer again. But after a month of treatment, I found out just last week that the chemotherapy was not

working. Some of the tumors have doubled in size, and there are new ones.

And while I don’t have it all figured out—I do know one thing. I am committed to living my life fully

and squeezing all of the juice out of it. That’s why I am here with you today . . . to share my story.

I tell you my story because I am dying. The bad news is that you are dying, too. The only difference between you and me

is that I know what’s killing me.The good news is that you don’t have to be diagnosed with cancer to claim your life. I tell you my story because the minute you realize that you will die,

you will finally start living. You will take that leap. You will make that jump. You will fly. So what makes you think that

you have 80 or 90 years to live? There is enough time, but none to spare. If not now, when?

It was then that my world started falling apart. It was then that I knew my life would be changing drastically. There were exams upon exams . . . scans, and lots of blood work. Until finally, the oncologist came and told me,

“You either have acute leukemia or high grade lymphoma.” I did not want to call my mom. How could I tell this to my mom? I was far from home and too young for this to be happening. Five days later, I was flying in a private

plane back to Chapel Hill with three nurses and two pilots all to myself. (I have to admit, that was pretty cool.) They brought me to the UNC Cancer Hospital, where my mom and my brother were waiting. When I got to the

hospital, the doctor told me “I have good news and bad news.” She said, “The good news is that you don’t have leukemia and you don’t have lymphoma. The bad news is that you have a rare type of cancer and it is all over your body.” It was the first time I would hear the word—rhabdomyosarcoma. She asked me if I had I questions. And so I asked . . . “Can I go skydiving tomorrow?” She said “NO.” So I didn’t. And I should have. Then she explained the

disease and told me that I had three options: a clinical trial, the standard treatment, or no treatment. And then I said, “Well if I can’t go skydiving, I want to fly.” And so I did.

Frank Hanes was widely known and deeply appreciated for his generosity of spirit and his generosity with resources; for his warmth, his wit, and his plain-spoken, incisive candor; and for his strength of character, ethics, and honesty. Frank had a passion for the arts, for scholarship, and for civic engagement and advancement, and was a longtime benefactor of UNC-Chapel Hill, serving as founding chair of the Arts and Sciences Foundation and as a trustee of the Morehead-Cain Foundation for thirty-six years.

Many thousands of students have benefited, as will countless more, from all manner of support—books, buildings, scholarships, professorships—that came freely from his heart and by his hand, though most may never know his name, as he would have it. —Bland Simpson, Kenan Distinguished Professor of English & Creative Writing

From “Evening Hatch,” a poem Frank wrote in memory of friend,

fishing partner, and fellow Morehead-Cain Trustee Hugh Chatham

All British secondary schools are eligible to participate in the selection process for the Morehead-Cain. Administration of the British Programme and selection process is coordinated by the Morehead-Cain Foundation. The London-based British Morehead-Cain Scholarship Committee—established by British Morehead-Cain Alumni—oversees the selection process in Great Britain. The scholarship committee designates a selection committee, which interviews nominees in London and selects three to four students to interview as finalists in Chapel Hill. The selection committee works closely with a number of educational charities and associations, including the Fulbright Commission, and also with Winston House—UNC’s home in London.

Candidates may come to the Canadian Morehead-Cain Program either directly or through the CMSF area committee system. Semi-finalists are chosen in January by a reading team and interviewed by telephone or Skype by a member of the Morehead-Cain staff. Based on their application materials and their interviews, finalists are invited to Toronto in mid-February to interview with the Canadian Central Selection Committee. CANADIAN READING TEAM
