UNC-Chapel Hill: A Bold Experiment

Posted Oct 9, 2018
In 1793, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was founded as a bold experiment — an untested idea, built on the principles of lux, libertas – light and liberty. For 225 years, Tar Heels have paved the way to a better world for generations to come. We walk the unpaved road with curiosity, courage and compassion. We build a better future one step at a time.
