$2 Billion and CountingOn Feb. 21, Carolina surged past its $2 billion goal for the Carolina First Campaign -- with more than 10 months to spare and the single largest commitment in University history pushing the drive into its closing months. A $50 million commitment from Dennis and Joan Gillings to support the School of Public Health put Carolina First over the $2 billion mark. UNC will recognize the Gillings' contribution by renaming the School of Public Health as the Dennis and Joan Gillings School of Global Public Health. Carolina celebrated breaking $2 billion and the history-making pledge at Graham Memorial on the UNC campus. Photos by Dan Sears, UNC News Services Back to Carolina First |
