Introducing: Spring Family Day

New Student & Family Programs pilots their first Spring Family Day! It’s always a Great day to be a Tar Heel at Carolina, especially in the springtime. We’re inviting Carolina families to campus to visit their student(s) ahead of a busy exam season. Families can choose from a few opportunities on campus Saturday, April 13, 2024 and explore campus and downtown Chapel Hill.
