'I'm sad to go out like this': For seniors, COVID-19 brings the premature end of an era
Posted Mar 23, 2020

This year's seniors are realizing they probably won't get to participate in that and other campus traditions. UNC announced Friday that spring commencement is postponed to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
