Read one parent's view about Pre-O:
"It is no doubt that you guys have good programs for minority youth and are committed to making UNC an inclusive school. The Pre-O events were the WELCOME the kids needed to transition to college life and it made me feel more at ease to leave my daughter there. I hope that next year, my daughter will be an leader in one of your programs. Thank you for your support!"

Special thanks to our partners who helped make Pre-O a success: The Office for Student Academic Counseling, Division of Student Affairs, Black Student Movement, Carolina Indian Circle, Asian Student Association and the Carolina Hispanic Association
