UNC Visitors Center launches ‘Sense of Place’ Zoom tour

Posted Feb 11, 2021
After months of construction, the UNC Visitors Center held its grand opening on March 6, 2020. But the doors stayed open just a few days before the center was forced to close because of the pandemic. Visitors Center employees continued helping guests, but the center’s main purpose — guided tours — remained out of the question. Until now. (UNC.edu)
