UNC Charlotte publishes a magazine for the College of Education. In the fall of 2007, this popular publication featured an article about Clay Aiken. Titled, “Measure of a Man,” the article calls Clay their most famous alumnus. The article highlights Clay’s work with his foundation and how important he feels it is to educate people about Inclusion.
The article is a nice read and features a 4 page spread which includes two beautiful pictures; one from Clay’s professional life and one from his UNICEF work.

What a great article and gorgeous pictures. Clay tries so hard to make a difference in the world. It always impressed me how Clay finished college even while doing all the AI stuff. He is the measure of a man. 🙂
I am so proud of Clay Aiken. He truely IS a Measure of a Man.
What a special honor and article for "Our Mr. Clay Aiken". He excels in everything he does! It means so much to see real appreciation for who he is and what he does. It also means alot to
think that we have a little bitty part in the life of one so intelligent, accomplished, and humbly
caring – – we are fortunate to be able to care about him – it is an honor!
Thank you so much for making us even more aware of who Clay really is!! Your bringing this
article to us is more than special.
Clay has always walked the walk, graciously and without a lot of fanfare. He makes a difference because it's the right thing to do.
Thanks for the great article!
What a complimentary article that is. Clay certainly has made quite an impression on his former college educators and it is all good. He continues to follow through with all his humanitarian work, no matter what else is happening in his life. Right now Clay is in the midst of integrating a TV and Public Relations job (Celebrity Apprentice) with an opportunity to raise money and awareness for the National Inclusion Project or some other charitable organization. He is actually doing what he said he would do with his celebrity. He is an admirable man and a quality human being.
Thanks so very much for this most complimentary and true article about our Clay Aiken. He has always said that his celebrity would just give him a bigger stage to help out wherever he could. It looks like he is doing this with the National Inclusion Project. I am very proud to be a fan of this fine upstanding man.
Thanks so much for posting this excellent article about Clay. He truly does demonstrate his desire to help children wherever they may be. He really is an honorable man and has helped children all over this world time after time. I am a very proud fan of his.
Thank you so much for posting this excellent article. Clay really is the measure of a man.
Thanks for sharing that wonderful article. It helped pass the time while I wait and wonder about Celebrity Apprentice.
