It was also the seventh straight record year for private giving to Carolina. Carolina's fortunes have risen on a tide of good will and astute giving that speaks volumes for the generosity of our alumni and friends. Student callers reached 88,754 Tar Heels by phone. When they finished, they called 8,000 donors back simply to thank them for their gifts to Carolina. Your generosity is transforming Carolina, allowing us to create numerous undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships and endowed professorships, and build and improve outstanding departments and programs.
Every gift counts to someone on campus.
We also cannot afford to rest on our past successes. Our momentum is building and our drive to be the best continues. Carolina needs the continued support of its loyal alumni and friends, and we thank each of you for your commitment.
