Mr. Friday retired as President of the University of North Carolina in 1986 after a distinguished 30-year tenure. For the next 12 years (1987-1999), he served as the Kenan Charitable Trust's first Executive Director. Under his creative leadership, the Kenan Trust's philanthropy ventured in new directions, including a program aimed at increasing the endowments of high-quality small liberal arts colleges that were significantly under-endowed.
