UNC alum Jeff Varner to compete again on TV show 'Survivor'

Posted May 27, 2015
Varner, 49, appeared on the show’s second season in 2001. He has moved back to Greensboro and works in public relations and marketing for ITT Technical Institute in High Point. “It was very hard but so much fun,” Varner said in an earlier interview. “I came out of that much stronger than I went into it. That’s part of what I look forward to, seeing who I am going to be on the other end.” (Greensboro News & Record)
