Honorary Alumnus Award

Delbridge Narron has been a huge supporter of UNC Charlotte for more than 15 years, giving his time, talent and treasure to the students in the Honors College.

In addition to serving as a part-time instructor in the Honors College at UNC Charlotte, Delbridge is senior vice president and general counsel at Springs Global U.S. Inc., headquartered in Fort Mill, South Carolina.

He is currently teaching a new seminar about constitutional law and serving as the inaugural chair of the Honor College’s advisory board, where he plays an integral role in shaping the direction and growth of the Honors College.

Making college affordable for honors students is a passion for Delbridge.

“As a child, Delbridge consistently gave ten percent of his small allowance to charity,” said Meagan Jones, director of donor relations at UNC Charlotte. “Delbridge has carried the value of giving into adulthood, now graciously giving his time and monetary donations at UNC Charlotte.”

Delbridge established the Delbridge E. Narron Scholarship for Merit to support juniors and seniors enrolled in the University Honors Program and/or a departmental honors program.

Recipients of the scholarship must demonstrate open minds to diverse cultures, genders and sexual orientations through community involvement.

He created the scholarship to honor the impact that scholarships have had on his own life. A scholarship to Wake Forest as an undergraduate student afforded Narron the opportunity to study abroad for a semester in Venice. This was an experience that changed his life and opened his mind to diverse cultures and perspectives.

Due to this impactful international trip, Delbridge also wants his scholarship recipients to have the opportunity to see the world. In addition to educational expenses, recipients of the Delbridge E. Narron Scholarship for Merit also receive the Delbridge E. Narron Travel Fund, which covers expenses to study abroad for one semester.

Delbridge earned his bachelor of arts in religion from Wake Forest University, where he was a Hankins Scholar. He earned a master’s in divinity from Union Theological Seminary and a law degree from the New York University School of Law.
