As we prepare for the start of 2026, Carolina and Chancellor Lee H. Roberts wanted to look back at some of the exciting things that have happened on campus this year, everything from “The Summer I Turned Pretty” to Rhodes scholars to national championships. With students, faculty and staff, we took the text of a famous holiday poem and put our own spin on it.

We hope you enjoy this video about some of the fun we had at Carolina in 2025.
