The Carolina First Campaign did as it was
designed: Bring to Chapel Hill the elements
of public higher education leadership. The

calling the fifth-largest completed campaign
in U.S. higher
education and the
largest completed
fundraising drive
at a university in
the South.

1974, one of old Carmichael’s finest hours.
