TO THE EDITOR:
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I invite the entire Carolina family — students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and community members — to show their support for Chancellor Carol Folt this Saturday, Oct. 12, on University Day.
University Day is an opportunity for us to celebrate Carolina’s rich history and look to the future. This year the day will be even more exciting for Carolina with Chancellor Folt’s installation. We’ll hear her speak about the University’s future as we celebrate 220 years of public higher education in America.
The festivities begin at 1:30 p.m. in Polk Place, on the steps of South Building, and a reception following installation will be held outside Wilson Library. (In case of rain, the ceremony will be held in the Smith Center.)
The day’s events include presenting five outstanding Carolina alumni with Distinguished Alumna and Alumnus Awards and honoring one of our top faculty members for service to the state, the nation and the University.
University Day is part of four days of compelling events that begin Thursday evening and continue through Sunday afternoon with a students-only celebration known as Folt Fest. For details about all the events surrounding the installation of our 11th chancellor, see installation.unc.edu. I look forward to seeing you throughout the weekend.
