    Bringing holiday cheer to a gloomy day

    Despite gloomy weather and temperatures in the mid 30s, Carolina employees came together with colleagues and got steps in around campus for a good cause while spreading holiday spirit. The Jingle Bell Jog, an annual tradition for UNC-Chapel Hill faculty and staff, returned Dec. 5, with Tar Heels becoming Santas, elves and reindeer. Attendees also had the opportunity to make canned-food donations to the Carolina Cupboard and support the Orange County Animal Shelter. (Photos by Jon Gardiner/UNC-Chapel Hill)

    Celebrating the MVSS

    Carolina held a grand opening ceremony Nov. 13 for the new location of the rebranded Military and Veteran Student Success Center. Now located on the first floor of Student and Academic Services Building South, the MVSS offers resources to military-connected Tar Heels and gives them a space to gather. The event featured remarks from Jocelyn Mitnaul Mallette ’14 (JD), an Air Force veteran and secretary at the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs; student Roslyn Ward; MVSS program director Rob Palermo; Dean of Students Desirée Rieckenberg; and Chancellor Lee H. Roberts.
