Class of 2020 returns to their second home to celebrate Commencement

Posted Oct 12, 2021
The UNC experience for members of the Class of 2020 has been anything but traditional. In the 228-year history of the nation’s first public university, no group of Tar Heels has had a senior year quite like this one. When the pandemic cut their last semester short, members of the class spent their final days as students on computers in childhood homes. (UNC.edu)
