The GAA’s overwhelmingly popular N.C. History Series, taught by Freddie Kiger ’74, will take a look at the life of Dean Smith and Sir Walter Raleigh, delve into the University’s past, share stories of moonshine and NASCAR, relive the 2009 basketball championship and more. Explore with us the issues and events that define us as a state. Lectures are held in the George Watts Hill Alumni Center’s Royall Room from 7-9 p.m. (unless otherwise noted).
