UNC Celebrates Eve Carson's Life

Posted Mar 19, 2008

A sea of Carolina blue filled the Dean E. Smith Center Tuesday afternoon when students, faculty and administrators remembered the life of the UNC student body president, whose life was cut short earlier this month. Eve Carson's family and hometown friends were among an estimated 10,000 people at the hour-long service marked with tears, hugs and laughter – a service to help begin the healing of a university community still reeling from an untimely loss.
