Bonnie Cone Memorial
Bonnie Cone is buried in the Van Landingham Glen on the main campus of UNC Charlotte, across from the Fretwell building. A slab of slate sits on top of her burial place inscribed with the words "Founder of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte." There is also a stone walkway up to her burial place, and stone seating surrounding the memorial for visitation and reflection. This area is in the process of being transformed into a meditation garden in honor of Dr. Cone.
