“Learn from every single being, experience, and moment. What joy it is to search for lessons and goodness and enthusiasm in others.”

Those words were written by former Student Body President Eve Carson in a letter to a graduating friend. They have now been carved into a marble wall, one of several items to be unveiled at 4 p.m. today during the dedication of the Eve Marie Carson Garden.

“It summarizes her outlook on interactions with people and her time spent at UNC,” said Thomas Edwards, director of the Eve Marie Carson Scholarship.



Friday marks the two-year anniversary of Carson’s death. She was shot to death in a neighborhood off East Franklin Street.

Dedication

Time: 4 p.m. today
