TO THE EDITOR:
Eve Carson. Within one month here, we hear the name. Eventually, we learn the story. But for us undergraduates, none of us knew the person. We did not go to class with her, walk these brick paths with her or vote for her in the student body president election. We know the name. We know the story.
When I arrived at Carolina, I had never heard of Eve Carson. Before long, I knew her name, story and legacy. The more I learned, the more I wished I could have known Eve the person, not Eve the name.
Eventually, though, I realized — I do know Eve the person. And so do you.
You see, Eve is everything we love about this place.
She is everything she loved about this place. Eve is what it means to be a Tar Heel — she is the Carolina Way.
Eve had an intense love for UNC, a commitment to education and a belief in Carolina students. She cared not just for the students of her day, but for those who would come after her as well. She wanted great things for this University and these people because she believed in it and in us.
On Saturday, Nov. 16, Phi Delta Theta and Pi Beta Phi are hosting the Eve Carson 5k. We hope you will join us to celebrate Eve’s life. Registration and donation options are available at educationforeve.com.
If you do come out, we ask only this: Do it for Eve. The person, not the name.
