High Fives For Heels
Join us for High Fives for Heels, a collaboration between New Student & Family Programs, The Carolina Parents Council and dedicated Carolina Family volunteers. As the mid-terms and finals approach, students could use some extra love and support. That's where you come in!
Carolina family members are invited to campus to share high-fives, fist bumps, and words of encouragement with hardworking students. Even if you can't join us in person, you can still contribute by providing study fuel in the form of snacks, drinks, and supplies for students. Let's rally together to lift their spirits as they prepare for the most academically stressful times of the semester. We believe that knowing they have a supportive Carolina Family community behind them can make all the difference during this difficult time.
Additionally, we'll be sharing valuable campus resources for health and wellness. Be a part of this fun event and show students that they're not alone—we're all in this together!
