The History Department is pleased to announce the establishment of the Dr. Gene A. Riddle Fund for the History Department in the College of Arts & Sciences. This generous $50,000 endowment, gifted by Dr. Riddle’s son, Gene Riddle, will allow the Department greater financial flexibility to meet its needs in the coming years and beyond.
“My twin brother and I majored in history at UNC, and both my daughters also majored in history at UNC,” said Gene Riddle, attorney and managing partner at Riddle & Brantley. “My father introduced us to history and he graduated from UNC with a PhD in Education. Our family is indebted to the Department of History at UNC.”
The Dr. Gene A. Riddle Fund will begin disbursements to the History Department in July 2025.
