Around Campus

Each year, the Workie Awards recognize some of the best, most interesting and most distinctive work-study jobs at Carolina.

Brian Hogan, a biochemist and director of the Carolina Covenant and the Achieve Scholars Program, delivered the annual Last Lecture on April 11.

As a Carolina undergraduate in the 1960s, Phillip Clay worked to recruit more students of color, advocating for a bill in the student legislature to cover expenses for the program. Later, he would serve as a member of the University's Board of Trustees.

Employees who work between 5 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. Monday evening through Friday morning will need to register for the program through their departments in May and June.

This year the University is joining together with alumni, students, staff, parents and friends to share stories of impact, meet matching-gift challenges and help spread the word about why it’s always a Great Day to be a Tar Heel.

The annual award recognizes people on campus who have elevated the status of women, helped improve campus policies, promoted recruitment, retention and upward mobility of women and participated in professional development or mentorship for women.
