UNC year in review: reflecting on the old and the new

Posted Dec 9, 2022
2022 was a year that brought both old and new to the Chapel Hill community. For the first time since spring 2020, UNC’s campus returned this fall with no face covering requirement — a stark contrast to January, when students greeted their classmates on FDOC with a smile hidden behind a mask. UNC welcomed new deans and other administrators. (Daily Tar Heel)
