The UNC family has a tradition of giving back to the community. For over 35 years, this campus has supported thousands of charities through Carolina Cares, Carolina Shares. During tough economic times, we continued to give and prove that Tar Heels give more by consistently leading the way in giving among all state agencies and universities.
