Description

In this revised and expanded edition, UNC A to Z offers more Carolina history than ever before. Covering everything from the Old Well and the Confederate monument to the COVID-19 pandemic and Roy Williams's retirement, this book is a handy portable introduction to the nation's first public university, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

With an additional twenty-five mini-histories and new photographs, this book is perfect for new students getting to know the campus and alumni who want to learn more about their alma mater. Each entry is packed with fascinating facts, interesting stories, and little-known histories of the people, places, and events that have shaped the Carolina we know today.
