Like most #UNC seniors, Gabriela De Jesus thought she had more time on campus when she left for spring break. Here's how she feels about missing Carolina's traditions after saying goodbye so suddenly 💙 https://t.co/uO8xYCnBvi

Today's the day #UNC20 should be climbing the Bell Tower and leaving their mark on this Carolina icon. Unfortunately, it's not possible to grab a Sharpie and write on the bricks today. But we DO want #UNC seniors to sign a brick virtually! ✍️ Here's how: https://t.co/HiVN3nLO95

On this day in 1795, Carolina's first student arrived in Chapel Hill after a long walk from Wilmington. @OBTambassadors celebrated Hinton James today with fun activities (and food!) across campus, including some photos in the Pit with the man himself 😉🐏 #UNC

[UNC Archives @uncarchives]

On this day in 1795, nearly a month after the university opened, Hinton James arrived in Chapel Hill and became the first student at @UNC.

It's Monday ... and that means it's officially #BeatDuke Week! 😤🐏🏀

How many steps does it take to get to the top of the bell tower? 128!

#UNC seniors leave their mark on campus each year by signing their names on the bricks inside. Four years until you leave yours, #UNC24 ✍️ Check out this Carolina tradition ➡️ https://t.co/Vhq715qAho
