Sense of Place Tour

Welcome to Carolina! The UNC Visitors Center offers its popular hour-long in-person Sense of Place tour that introduces campus history and traditions as well as some of the University’s current endeavors in research and innovation. We believe Carolina is a very special place, and we look forward to sharing it with you.

School Group Video Tour

The UNC Visitors Center has a NEW school group video tour available to sixth- to eighth-grade classrooms as supplemental material to encourage students to learn about Carolina and the role a university serves within a community. Led by current Carolina students, this video tour also serves as a fun, educational resource. From Carolina traditions to our rich history and current endeavors, students will be entertained and challenged with a bingo game that tests their Carolina knowledge after watching the video tour. We also provide prompts to encourage students to reflect and share what they have learned. If you are interested in this new video tour program, contact us at  uncvisitorscenter@unc.edu for more information on how to receive the materials.
