Dear Campus Community,
Fall is always an exciting time on campus. We just launched the most ambitious fundraising campaign in Carolina’s history, and tomorrow we will welcome Gov. Roy Cooper to deliver the keynote address at our celebration marking our University’s 224th birthday.
In this video, I provide an overview of our bold $4.25 billion, university-wide campaign and other important initiatives that are underway. We have big dreams! I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch it. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Carol L. Folt
Chancellor
"At this year’s University Day, we are focusing on that second vital calling: research. I think of that famous Charles Kuralt line, “what is it that binds us to this place?” We are the university of the people, and that mission unites us around a common purpose. But the glue that binds us is a curiosity about the world – a desire to learn and to know more. That curiosity finds its purest expression in research, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge."
"Class of 2022, thank you. For your sacrifices, your achievements, your embodiment of all that Carolina is meant to be. Congratulations!"
