UNC journalism students report on Winter Olympics in Milan, 'rush' a fountain when UNC beats Duke

Posted Mar 7, 2026
Since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Hussman School has sent students to cover the Games multiple times under professor C.A. Tuggle — but this was the first time they had covered the Winter Olympics. The group arrived in Italy the day before the opening ceremony on Feb. 6. The students began planning for their stories at least a month before they left. (Daily Tar Heel)
