University Day 2018 – 225th Anniversary
"Our unique legacy demands that we continue to reconcile our past with our present and future and be the diverse and just community that is fitting for America’s first public university."
2018 New Student Convocation
"I’m hoping you’ll champion a cause, turn out the vote, participate in student government and express the concerns of your generation. If you don’t, who will? We know from experience, that you’ll launch startups and social ventures, you’ll excel in and out of the classroom and you’ll continue the Tar Heel tradition of community service."
2018 Commencement
"Dr. Seuss said, “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” Your shared moments and memories will bind you even when thousands of miles draw you apart. From your first sip at the Old Well to the moment when you toss your hats to the Carolina Blue sky – your ties to each other and this place we love will continue to grow."
