James Leloudis is Associate Professor of History in the College of Arts and Sciences, Associate Dean for Honors, and Director of the James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence. He has written extensively on the history of education, labor, race, and poverty in the modern South. He has also been recognized for excellence in undergraduate teaching and has won a Phillip and Ruth Hettleman Prize for Artistic and Scholarly Achievement.

The Honors Program spearheads a university-wide commitment to provide undergraduate students with a stimulating and enriching academic environment. Students may join the Honors Program when they first arrive on campus or for their senior year or sometime in between. Honors Program students become involved in every aspect of campus life. The Program assumed an even more important role in campus life upon relocating to the University’s unique James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence in January 2000.

This program is probably the most inclusive and permeable Honors program in the country. The Fiske Guide to Colleges reports that "Chapel Hill's honors program is nationally recognized as being one of the best and most accessible in the country." The first published guide to Honors programs at flagship state universities (Ivy League Programs at State School Prices, 1994) places UNC's Honors Program among only nine to be awarded a three-star rating (the highest given) in all categories of comparison.

James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence

Graham Memorial was renovated in 1998-2000 to house the James M. Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence. Described by its planning committee as a "democracy of learning," the Center's mission is to lead a renaissance in undergraduate education at Carolina. Students come to the Johnston Center to learn about undergraduate research and Honors study-abroad opportunities, to meet distinguished Carolina alumni and campus visitors, to participate in arts and cultural events, and to get to know their professors as scholars and people. With its state-of-the-art technology, the Johnston Center also serves as a laboratory for innovation in teaching and learning. Faculty and students use these facilities to engage in collaborative inquiry with peers both close to home and around the globe. The Center's teleconferencing facilities connect UNC programs abroad back to campus and give students in Chapel Hill access to academic experts from all parts of the world.
