TOP STORIES: The School of Law plans to move to Carolina North. The possibility of such a move has been talked about for a while but grew more serious in spring 2007 after a report from SmithGroup identified an array of structural deficiencies in the current building on Ridge Road. The plan to move became official Feb. 15 when law school Dean Jack Boger announced that the school intended to pursue construction of a new building at Carolina North. This makes the law school the first academic program to commit to locating at the University’s new mixed-use academic campus. Larry Conrad became Carolina’s vice chancellor for information technology and chief information officer on Feb. 1. He came here from Florida State University, where he was chief information officer since 1998 and for the past five years was also associate vice president for technology integration. The Gazette recently spoke with Conrad about the role of technology at a major research university like Carolina. Nearly a year into the exceptional drought experienced by much of the state, water reservoirs have not yet begun to rebound. For water customers in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area, that could mean additional water restrictions. The University has announced the recipients of the 2008 University Teaching Awards, the highest campuswide recognition for teaching excellence. Many people graduate from Carolina equipped with the confidence — and commitment — to change the world. But undergraduates who venture off campus to study abroad in the middle of their college careers often have a different story to tell when they return.
