We Love Our #UNCAlumni

Carolina’s young alumni are an important part of our Tar Heel family. Whether you find yourself near or far from Chapel Hill, your UNC General Alumni Association’s goal is to keep you connected to Carolina (our favorite place on Earth). From reading our monthly e-newsletter The Quad to young alumni events and following along with us on Instagram @UNCGAA, we hope you have some fun with us. Not yet a Carolina Alumni member?
