Farewell message from Chancellor Carol L. Folt

Posted Jan 31, 2019
Dear Carolina Community: The time has come for me to say my goodbyes. Stepping down as the chancellor of this great university and wonderful community feels much like parting from a gathering of family, friends and neighbors. There are Tar Heels dancing through life everywhere, it seems! So, thank you. Thank you all. My heart is full. Respectfully yours, Carol L. Folt (UNC.edu)
