Confronting challenging times
"The coronavirus is a serious threat that must be met with a bias toward the safety and well-being of our campus while maintaining the University’s teaching, research and service mission."
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.
