Around campus

Members of the Carolina community, including local first responders, gathered in Kenan Stadium on Sunday morning to pay their respects to the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks at the annual 9/11 Memorial Run.

Hosted by Carolina’s Army ROTC, the run has become a yearly tradition. During the early morning event, participants climbed 2,076 steps — the total number of stairs in the World Trade Center towers.
