225 years of Tar Heels: Shirley Ort
Posted Jan 25, 2019
For 15 years, the Carolina Covenant has provided low-income students the opportunity to graduate from Carolina debt-free. The Tar Heel behind that program is Shirley Ort, who served as the director of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid for 19 years before she retired. “I am very pleased with what I have accomplished here, and I think it has taken root,” Ort said in 2016.
