Stompin' at the Savoy


Stompin' at the Savoy celebrates the philanthropic support provided for scholarships that are making the journey of learning at UNCW more affordable and accessible, for many diverse students.

Led by the visionary Linda Upperman Smith, an advocate and philanthropic partner for more than 20 years, the 11 diversity scholarships supported by this effort currently value over $1.9 million.

"UNCW would not be the same without Ms. Upperman Smith’s dedication to diversity, and neither would I.”
