Mapping Carolina: County To State
Mapping how Carolina makes an impact through research, scholarship and innovation to serve North Carolinians, from the mountains to the coast.
The University
of the People
In his 1993 bicentennial address, UNC alumnus Charles Kuralt reminded us that, as the nation’s first public university, Carolina is “The University of the People.” His words captured perfectly what makes Carolina great — its people. Here are the stories of some of those people who, together, showcase the broad impact Carolina makes in the state, nation and world. By supporting them and our public, the possibilities are limitless.
