In September 2025, many of us will be taking part in the 30-Day Monuments Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will spotlight one of the nearly 50,000 National Monuments or Memorials across the United States. In addition, we’ll feature a wide range of other tributes—from statues honoring heroes and athletes to memorials recognizing outstanding citizens and many other categories. Today the post is on TOMMY ROCK.
TOMMY ROCK is an iconic place on the campus of UNC Pembroke. College campuses often have places that graduates and visitors often look to take photos. Often times that location is a statue and that is the case at UNCP. A bronze replica of a red-tailed hawk sits on top of a gigantic granite boulder. UNCP mascot is the red-tailed hawk.

- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
September 12-Tommy Rock
In July 2021 I was asked to tell the story of the statue for UNCP Today Magazine. The location is in front of the Chavis University Center (UC) and it is called TOMMY ROCK. It was a gift from the Senior Class of 1999 that I got to facilitate its creation with a lot of help and support from many.
Here is screenshot of that story
