Thank You.
First opened in 1892, Foust Park contains vestiges of early and mid-twentieth century classes of the North Carolina State Normal and Industrial College and the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina.
Thank You.
The brave, determined women who graduated in 1917 gave this symbolic gift to honor their time spent at the State Normal and Industrial College and to show their support for UNCG’s future generations.
Thank You.
A stone bench in Foust Park honors the Class of 1922’s achievement on campus, the friendships they formed and the integrity they carried with them as college graduates.
Thank You.
The American flag flies from a flag pole that bears their class year on a small vintage plaque. This mark recalls the Class of 1957’s time spent at Woman’s College, their contributions to the campus community and their long-lasting, spirited pride in their university.
Each gift makes a difference
In his 2017 “State of the Campus” address, Chancellor Franklin D. Gilliam Jr. said UNCG is poised to enter an “era of Giant Steps,” anchored through transformation—student transformation, knowledge transformation and regional transformation. A university that recognizes its role in the shared place and fate of the city, state and nation, UNCG is ready to step boldly into the public spotlight as a top school of choice in the Southeast.
The ongoing generosity of alumni, corporations, foundations and friends worldwide creates access to excellence and opportunity for students, faculty, staff and the greater community. Class Gifts are among the most meaningful and important contributions made by our alumni. While simultaneously celebrating the class members’ years on campus and their accomplishments afterwards, Class Gifts also create an enduring impact on our university through improving our campus, providing critical support for programs and faculty, and bolstering the education of our students. Foust Park, as old as the university itself, is home to several gifts that commemorate the education and contributions of courageous women. As we prepare to welcome the Class of 1968 into the Vanguard, we reflect on the spirits of the Class of 1917, the Class of 1922 and the Class of 1957, forever captured by the humble fixtures gracing Foust Park today.
Ways to Give
Annual gifts, reunion contributions, endowed funds, planned gifts, and corporate and foundation grants all make a positive impact that resonates well into the future.

Why They Give

Morgan Wilkinson Horner’s aunt’s, Charlotte, legacy of providing children access to arts and education lives on in the Weatherspoon Art Museum, where children wander the galleries, chattering excitedly about the paintings, sculptures and photographs of ever-changing exhibits.
