The Student Advisory Committee to the Chancellor sponsored an open house on Monday, April 14, 2014. UNC students had the opportunity to talk with Chancellor Carol Folt and Athletic Director, Bubba Cunningham, about recent events such as the Carolina Commitment webpage, Chacellor Folt's opinion on water, and Cunningham's role in Tar Heel athletics. For the first part of the open house, the students were divided into small groups with Chancellor Folt and Cunningham to formulate questions that would be answered later, in a larger group discussion.
