Welcome home, Tar Heels
The Tar Heels are back in town
For nearly 8,000 new students, last week marked the beginning of an exciting new journey in Chapel Hill. For others, it was a return to the place they’ve come to call home.
Celebrations began as students moved into residence halls on campus and apartments and houses in Chapel Hill. On Sunday night, the night before the first day of classes, Tar Heels kicked off the year with New Student Convocation and FallFest.
I speak for everyone on this campus when I say that we are so excited for you and we are here to support you. You don’t have to do this alone. I can’t wait to get to know you and to see where this journey takes you.
