To be a Tar Heel
What does it mean to be a Tar Heel?
Tar Heels are artists, scientists, humanitarians, researchers and philosophers. Some have lived extraordinary lives. All are doing extraordinary things.
The #GDTBATH series celebrates the diversity of our students’ interests, backgrounds and personal journeys. Whoever you are, and wherever you are, it’s a great day to be a Tar Heel!
