The University of North Carolina Center for Banking and Finance was established in July 2000 to support the leadership role played by North Carolina-based financial institutions in the continual evolution of the financial services industry. The Center provides a variety of support to banking professionals nationwide. This support is focused in three areas:
- The study of legal and policy issues related to banking and finance;
- Advancing the teaching of banking and finance;
- Sponsoring conferences for industry professionals.
Dream Fund Project
The Dream Fund supported the UNC School of Law's Director Diversity Initiative which works aimed to enhance awareness of the benefits of greater diversity on corporate boards, provide training for potential board members, maintain a web-based clearinghouse of director diversity resources, and provide a director diversity database on which potential diverse directors may register. Based on its research and interviews of corporate directors, executives, and executive search firm personnel, the Director Diversity Initiative published papers discussing how director diversity impacts board processes and corporate performance.
