A Culture Of Character: Derek Galvin Honored With Endowed Scholarship
Posted Aug 28, 2020
If anyone knows what it means to be a Tar Heel, Derek Galvin knows. He competed as a student-athlete in the early 1970's before leading the program for nearly 40 seasons before retiring in June of this year. Thirty-nine to be exact. Galvin cites a familiar face around Chapel Hill as an inspiration for the Carolina Gymnastics culture, the late Dean Smith.
