We're Feeling the Bear Pride!

"When we began The Campaign for UNC, we asked you, our donors and our community to dream big with us.

To imagine a future that included a stage worthy of our students’ talents. To imagine the lives that you could change when you create an educational scholarship. To imagine better community service and impact through research and faculty funding. And to imagine a university campus filled with opportunity for every student – no matter their background or passion in life. You dreamed big, you dreamed really, big. And each one of those dreams translates into support of our students.

Thanks to the generous support of more than 10,000 donors, we exceeded our goal and raised a total of $54,250,654 during the course of The Campaign for UNC.

Thank you for your continued encouragement and generosity. Go Bears!"

"Our UNC students are amazing.

Whether they are at UNC to become performers, nurses, educators, entrepreneurs or leaders of change, they come to us to hone their talents, strengthen their skills and knowledge, and prepare for lives and careers of inspiration. When I invite our campus to row together, I’m asking us to row for them. 

We set a goal to raise $45 million in support of student scholarships, faculty, research, programs, and the Campus Commons. We invited you to row with us. And wow, you really did! You smashed the goal out of the park and raised $45 million before we ever finished the campaign. But you didn’t stop. You didn’t stop believing in our students or the future we can create together.

Thank you for believing in our mission, in our students and those who may become future students. Students are at the center of everything we do at UNC. We are here because we are investing in the future that they will one day lead. And what a future it will be."
