Hello Tar Heels! 🐏

The countdown for Summer Orientation has begun! We are officially less than a week away from our first session and our Orientation Leaders are hard at work getting all the last minute preparations ready for our new students and families.

Part of being a Tar Heel means carrying your Carolina spirit 🎉 wherever you go. So if you come across this video, send it to a fellow Tar Heel and get ready to learn all our chants, traditions, and build amazing memories along the way.

Go Heels! 🩵
Days Until First Session: 3

Summer Orientation is getting closer and closer, and we cannot wait to welcome our newest Tar Heel families to Carolina! 🩵🐏

We know orientation is not only a big moment for students, but for families too. As you prepare to support your student through this exciting transition, our Orientation Leaders are here to help make your experience as welcoming and comfortable as possible.

This summer, we are proud to have bilingual OL groups available in Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, and Bangla to help support students and families throughout orientation. We are also excited to share that Spanish interpreters will be available during Sessions 4 and 12 for families looking for additional language support.

At Carolina, we are committed to creating an orientation experience where every family feels seen, supported, and connected to the UNC community from the very beginning. We can’t wait to meet you all this summer and officially welcome you to the Tar Heel family! 🩵
