With classes beginning Monday, the start of a new academic year at Carolina is here. For 8,000-plus students, this is the start of their Tar Heel journeys. For thousands more, it’s a return to the place they’ve learned to love.
The fun and excitement began before classes did, as students moved into on-campus residence halls and apartments and houses throughout Chapel Hill and the surrounding area. The night before the start of the semester, Tar Heels came together for New Student Convocation and celebrated at FallFest.
Your time at Carolina is just one of the many journeys that you’ll take. We are here to prepare you for those mountain climbs, wherever they may be. Our campus is a special place with so much to offer, and it is filled with outstanding people who are ready to support you on your journey here in Chapel Hill and beyond.
Chancellor Kevin M. Guskiewicz
Education is power. Power is responsibility. Responsibility is opportunity. And now is your chance. You are change-makers. You are our future. Your ideas and dreams carry merit and weight. Therefore, you have the power and responsibility. Now, you’ve been given the rare opportunity to make the most of your education.
