UNC Spring Shadow Day for Juniors
This Spring’s program will take place on April 14th. Lunch in one of our dining halls will be provided for students and their parent/guardians they bring with them. They will be given many great resources throughout the day, such as an Admissions and Financial Aid presentation. Attending this event is entirely free and students are not committing to anything by coming. They will need an adult to accompany them and transportation to and from UNC-CH.
This event has no bearing on admittance into UNC-CH, nor will it hinder anyone for not attending.
For our Spring Shadow Day, we would like to invite Juniors who hope to attend a college or university, whether it is Carolina, a UNC system school, or another institution. We want to equip them with the tools necessary to prepare them for applying to college, as well as to help them make the best college decision.
