UNC System President and Wife Break New Ground
Groundbreaking Gift to Support Student Success
Spanglers Donate $50 Million to UNC
The University of North Carolina system has received a historic $50 million gift from President Peter Hans and his wife, Meredith Riggs Spangler. The donation, the largest in the system's history, will establish the Spangler Fund for the Future of UNC. The fund will support a variety of initiatives to enhance student success, including scholarships, faculty support, and academic programs.
"We are incredibly grateful to Meredith and Peter for their extraordinary generosity," said Hans. "This gift will have a transformative impact on our students and will help us to continue to provide a world-class education at UNC."
The Spanglers have been long-time supporters of UNC. Meredith Spangler is a UNC alumna and former trustee, and Peter Hans has served as president of the system since 2019. The couple's gift is a testament to their belief in the power of public higher education and their commitment to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed.
