From a national championship to poetry program, Bob Young inspires students
Posted Feb 5, 2025
North Carolina alumnus Bob Young is nothing short of a victor — a man who propelled Carolina basketball to a national championship in 1957 —but whose legacy extends far beyond the court. In 2016, Young pioneered the Tar Heel Verses, a poetry program that appears monthly in The Daily Tar Heel and publishes the work of UNC student poets.
