With classes canceled for a day devoted to mental health, UNC observed a somber 228th birthday that leaders called a time for reflection, reckoning and resilience. Coming during not only a pandemic but also a more acute mental health crisis on campus, University Day was held as classes were canceled and a Wellness Day observed on Tuesday.
