The Tar Heel Experience

Posted Jan 9, 2019
The spring semester starts this week and for thousands of Tar Heels, it’s the final one before they turn their tassels in Kenan Stadium in May. The spring semester is packed with things to do, from Holi Moli and Dance Marathon to Arts Everywhere Day and opportunities to cheer on the Heels. UNC students turn Hooker Fields into a canvas of colors at the annual Holi Moli celebration. (UNC.edu)
