UNC celebrates Class of 2025 with rousing Mia Hamm commencement speech

Posted May 11, 2025
Though Mia Hamm is considered the greatest women’s soccer player of all time, she couldn’t have won four NCAA titles, two World Cups, and two Olympic gold medals by herself. As Hamm told Carolina’s Class of 2025 under the Kenan Stadium lights Saturday night at UNC's Spring Commencement ceremony, it takes a team working in sync to succeed. (UNC.edu)
