From the Nov. 15, 2011, Wilmington (NC) Star-News Back Then Column.
NOVEMBER 19, 1961-- Governor Terry Sanford was on hand for the dedication of the new Wilmington College campus on NC Highway 132. The $1.3 million campus includes a library-classroom building--Hoggard Hall which also houses science labs, math classes. There is also a student services building.
It was originally operated by the New Hanover County Board of Education at the Isaac Bear building across from New Hanover High School.
In 1963, Wilmington College became a senior college offering a four-year curriculum authorized to offer bachelors degrees.
In 1969, it became UNC-W.
I always thought I would have liked to be a professor there.
