We had a Heel of a good time May 8-11, 2024, in Chapel Hill celebrating Spring Reunions Weekend. We dove into fascinating topics during enrichment sessions and gathered together for the Priceless Gem Luncheon. We reunited, we celebrated and those in the 50th classes enjoyed a Commencement processional. See for yourself through our photo and video recap of the weekend.
Join John Grisham, bestselling author of the “The Firm,” “The Pelican Brief” and “A Time to Kill” (among many others) for an afternoon of stories and tales of his writing career. Plus Q&A from the audience.
Relive one of the most dramatic basketball games in the history of the Carolina vs. Duke rivalry when the Tar Heels pulled out a win by scoring 8 points in only 17 seconds. Hear from a panel made up of former players, managers and spectators about what made this historic game so special. Moderator Freddie Kiger ’74 (’77 MAT) brings his own insider perspective.
Moderated by Veronica Mora Flaspoehler ’08, Carolina Alumni president, this session included a panel discussion featuring members of the classes of 1974 and 2024. The discussion focused on the student experience at Carolina in the early ’70s and how it compares to campus life today.
