We can only change the world when our ideas and thoughts are challenged by other people’s perspectives. For 50 years, Project Uplift has brought a diverse selection of rising North Carolina high school seniors from historically underserved populations to campus, providing them an opportunity to live, lead and learn about the University firsthand.

This is story number 50 in the Carolina Stories 225th Anniversary Edition magazine.
