Carolina celebrates University Day
Carolina turned 230 on Thursday, Oct. 12, and Tar Heels participated in the annual tradition of University Day. The event marks the laying of the cornerstone of Old East — the campus’ first building and the oldest state university building in the nation.
The ceremony included remarks from Chancellor Kevin M. Guskiewicz on this year's theme of "Service to Our State," faculty and staff awards, recognition of distinguished alumni and a panel discussion.
