UNC's Global Origins

Posted Oct 27, 2015
Much has changed at Carolina since 1985. Thirty years ago, for instance, no Tar Heel student hailed from Denmark. But today, the Nordic nation is among UNC-Chapel Hill’s top seven international countries of origin for students. These interactive maps show just how global UNC has become. The University’s more than 375,000 alumni come from all 50 states – and 150 different countries. (UNC.edu)
