Posted Aug 11, 2020
The start of the UNC experience for new students has been far from conventional, but Sunday, these students experienced one important tradition when University leaders welcomed the newest Tar Heels during New Student Convocation. The ceremony is traditionally held in Carmichael Arena, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was held virtually. (UNC.edu)
