Claudia M. Reynolds Graduate Fellowship Announced

Wednesday, September 4, 2019

The Graduate School is pleased to announce a new donor funded fellowship, the Claudia M. Reynolds Graduate Fellowship.  It was established through a generous gift to support and encourage high quality graduate students at UNC Charlotte to continue their higher education and become leaders in their professional career.

A native of northern California, Claudia Reynolds moved to Charlotte with her husband, Graduate School Dean Tom Reynolds, in 1982 and has been a dedicated and loyal supporter of UNC Charlotte ever since. Over the years, she has generously volunteered countless hours of her time and energy to the University. An internationally recognized quilter, she has donated her quilts to local hospitals, women shelters, the USO and to UNC Charlotte. An educator in her own right, Claudia has mentored students in fabric arts and taught quilting at Central Piedmont Community College for more than 25 years.

The Claudia M. Reynolds Graduate Fellowship will be a part of this year's NinerNationGives campaign, allowing faculty, staff, students and all donors the opportunity to contribute to this exceptional fund.  The first 49 donors to the Graduate School will be entered into a drawing to win one of Mrs. Reynolds quilts.  NinerNationGives begins September 18 and runs for 49 hours.  Visit #NinerNationGives to help support this Fellowship.
