Why is UNC Charlotte called the 49ers?
Were it not for the tenacity and determination of Miss Bonnie, as she was affectionately known, UNC Charlotte would not exist today. Thanks to that ambitious attitude and pioneering spirit, and in honor of the year 1949, the University officially adopted the “49ers” nickname.
