Congratulations on your student's admission to UNC.
Together with my wife Gina we are honored to serve the
Carolina Community as National Chairs of the Parents Council,
which is the leadership arm of the Parents Association
to which all families belong.
We hope to help you to enjoy a positive rewarding experience
by becoming informed and involved.
The Parents Association, the Parents Council and the
Office of New Student & Carolina Parent Programs
are here to help each family to find the support they need
while being connected to one another in a new family network.
This is the Carolina Way.
We hope the diverse array of resources offered at Carolina
lead your student to discover their passions,
fulfill their potential and enjoy a bright future.
We encourage your student and you to explore
and leverage all opportunities and partner with us
as we all share the same goals,
for all students to be safe, happy and successful.
We are here to help and welcome you warmly
to the Carolina community.
They are 17, 18, 19 year old's up to 22
some of the traditional age of our students
but they are none the less our kids
and what inspires me is the passion
the commitment the dedication
the selflessness the willingness.
The kids that we have met have been terrific
and that has been a great moment for us.
Where Carolina may introduce to this wide range of
really wonderful young people the Parents Council
is a terrific opportunity and it gives you
a way a mechanism to do something in support of them.
Our family hopes that all the families at Carolina
can enjoy experiences where they can be engaged
such as at admitted student receptions, summer Orientation,
Summer Send-offs, Family Weekend.
There is a tremendous amount of opportunities
where parents and family members can get involved
and experience Carolina for themselves
and build the network.
There are some many people who are in the administration
on the faculty at UNC who welcome having the parents involved
and to have a place where they can go to and say
have you thought about this you know or we are coming against this,
and you know, can you help us with this. It's really quite an asset.
If you can pursue that then
this place will get better and better and better
As parents and family members of a Carolina student,
you are automatically a member of the Parents Association

that the Office of New Student
and Carolina Parent Programs keeps you informed
