UNC professor Christopher Armitage takes teaching ‘seriously, not solemnly’
Posted Nov 19, 2014
The teaching awards line the corner office in Greenlaw Hall like wallpaper, but it is the unusual picture above the desk that rivets the eye. It shows a bemused Dean Smith shaking hands with General William Richardson Davie, portrayed by Christopher Armitage, to whom the picture belongs. It was taken 21 years ago, when the two men took center stage – Armitage on horseback – for Carolina’s bicentennial celebration in October 1993.
