Obama will deliver his speech at Hooker Fields and doors will open to the public at 12:30 p.m.
Robyn Patterson, spokesperson for the Clinton Campaign, said in an email they are looking forward to welcoming President Obama to North Carolina and to hear his support for Clinton.
“Donald Trump is unfit and unqualified to serve as commander-in-chief and we’re excited that President Obama is returning to North Carolina to make the case for Hillary Clinton and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top,” she said.
Courtney Sams, UNC Young Democrats president, said she plans to attend the event and thinks every student who is available should attend.
“It’s not often that you get to hear a sitting president speak in person and it’s a great honor that President Obama has chosen our campus to come and speak to,” she said.

Sams said Obama’s choice to speak at UNC says a lot about the state’s shifting values.
“Twelve years ago you never would have seen a Democratic president trying to rally voters in red North Carolina,” she said. “But we’ve seen over the past few elections that North Carolina really has become a battleground tossup state and with so many young liberal millennial voters on our campus, this is really a place for Democrats to come and try to rally together early voters.”
