After 33 seasons as a head coach, 903 wins and three national championships, @UNC_Basketball coach Roy Williams is retiring. Thank you for your years of leadership, generosity and passion for Tar Heels on and off the court 💙 unc.live/2Pu1hmC
This is Shep. He's a 12-year-old golden retriever who's put in years of service as an emotional support dog at @UNC_Lineberger. Now, this very good boy is retiring and will spend his days just being a dog. 14/10 good for you, Shep (via @UNC_Lineberger) unc.live/2FTFDPR
Carolina's Class of 2020 definitely deserves for us to light it blue! Tonight's #UNCgrad Bell Tower celebration is all about you, #UNC20. Congratulations, Tar Heels 🥳 #UNC
That didn’t go according to plan. But then again, so many of the best moments this #CarolinaSZN were unscripted and unexpected. Thanks for the ride, @UNC_Basketball. And thanks to these seniors for the blood, sweat, tears - and banner 💙 #GoHeels
Tonight, the #UNC community gathered in the Dean E. Smith Center to honor the memory of Zijie Yan. As we continue to heal together, let us remember the words of student body president Chris Everett, “Professor Yan- Our Carolina Blue skies will always be a memory of you”

On this day in 1793, American public higher education got its start. This is where it all began. Ever since we laid the cornerstone to Old East, Carolina hasn’t stopped building. Today, we continue to build. For all that’s now. For all that’s new. For all that’s next. #UNC225
Of the people, for the people | #UNC225
In 1793, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was founded as a bold experiment; an untested idea, built on the principles of lux, libertas — light and liberty.
*taps mic*
Hark the sound of Tar Heel Voices, ringing clear and true;
Singing Carolina’s praises, shouting N.C.U.
Hail to the brightest star of all, clear its radiance shine;
Carolina, priceless gem, receive all praises thine!

On Monday night, Coach Roy Williams and the @UNC_Basketball program sent a powerful message that hearkened back to foundations built by Coach Dean Smith: Black Lives Matter.

On Wednesday, Aug. 30 at 7:30 p.m., #UNC will hold a candlelight vigil on Polk Place in memory of Zijie Yan, the faculty member killed in a campus shooting. If it rains, the vigil will be held in the Dean E. Smith Center

In the words of Zijie Yan's colleague, Theo Dingemans, "Zijie was one of the kindest persons that I've ever met, he was soft-spoken; he was a great listener, and he had a wonderful sense of humor." The #UNC community honored a life well lived at Wednesday night’s vigil

This weekend, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Kizzmekia Corbett will virtually deliver the Class of 2021's Commencement address. #UNC alumna and Hillsborough native @KizzyPhD says, "I’m a scientist because I started being a scientist at UNC and a moment like this is a full circle for me.”
