The College of Arts and Sciences
and the Campaign for Carolina
More than 37,000 alumni and generous friends of the College of Arts and Sciences committed $764 million for the College’s 17,000 undergraduate students, some 2,300 graduate students, world-renowned faculty and researchers, and the 43 academic departments and curricula that they call home. We invite you to explore the stories behind the numbers.
Come Here. Go Anywhere.
One of the hallmarks of private support for Honors Carolina is the Go Anywhere initiative, established in 2017 by alumni Chad and Blake Pike, who both graduated in 1993. “The Go Anywhere platform played a critical role in launching my professional journey,” said Matthew Gillespie ’23.
Supporting the New Undergraduate General Education Curriculum
Thanks to a recent gift from donors Justin ’94 and Emily Haynie ’96, whose son is a current Tar Heel, the College is able to implement this more structured first-year experience.
Preparing the Future Scientists of Tomorrow
“A lot of students of color and minorities in STEM can slip through the cracks,” Paloma Ruiz ’22 said. “More than anything, I think the Chancellor’s Science Scholars shows students like me that we belong in science, and we deserve to be here.”
