I'm devastated the
#UNC
community lost a faculty member in an act of violence on campus. Carolina will move into Condition 2 - classes will be canceled tomorrow and all non-mandatory operations are suspended. Tar Heels, know that support is available.
Congratulations
@unc_basketball
on an unforgettable tournament run. We are so proud of you and we can't wait to welcome you back home to Chapel Hill.

#GoHeels
Thank you Coach Roy Williams for leading
@UNC_basketball
with such passion, honor and integrity and for your support of scholarships for student-athletes, Carolina Covenant Scholars and
#UNC
Chancellor’s Science Scholars. You will inspire us and lead today and beyond.
I know many Tar Heels enjoy rushing Franklin Street to celebrate a big win, but we are in the middle of a global pandemic, and COVID doesn’t take a break for the Duke game. We will investigate this incident and work with local authorities to pursue consequences.
Our commitment to access and affordability continues at Carolina. We will provide free tuition and required fees for incoming undergraduates from North Carolina whose families make less than $80,000 per year beginning with the incoming class in 2024.
Hubert Davis connects our storied past with our exciting future and has a deep passion for putting our student-athletes in the best position to succeed on and off the court. I can’t wait to see him on campus as the face of
@UNC_Basketball
. Congrats Coach!
It’s been a privilege to lead
#UNC
for nearly 5 years, and I am proud of where the University is today. You are Carolina’s legacy and its future, and I know you will continue to be passionately public and accomplish great things.
Tomorrow we’ll ring the Bell Tower in honor of Dr. Zijie Yan, who died in yesterday’s shooting. I encourage every Tar Heel to take a moment of silence during that time. At this time, let’s continue to support one another and strengthen our
#UNC
community.
Congrats to
@UNCFieldHockey
on winning their 3rd consecutive NCAA National Championship, this time here in Chapel Hill, beating Michigan 4-3 in OT. GDTBATH!!
I am humbled and honored to become
@UNC
’s 12th chancellor. My vision is that we will move forward with boldness and confidence because the work we do here is vital for the people of North Carolina, the nation and the world.
To our international students: you are essential members of our University community and you play an integral role in our mission of teaching, research, and service. We are working to support you through this uncertain time and ensure you can continue your education here at
#UNC
.
It’s an honor to be asked to lead the nation’s first public university into the next chapter of its 225-year history. I’m excited and energized by the possibility and promise of the things that the
@UNC
community can accomplish together
Carolina WOMENS SOCCER packs the house at Fetzer Field tonight and takes 1-0 lead just before halftime...Former players then take the field to showcase our 21 national championship trophies to the delight of fans. GDTBATH. Go Heels!!
It’s been an incredible 4 weeks at
@michiganstateu
! My wife Amy and I can already feel the deep love Spartans have for this place. We are proud and grateful to be part of this special community, and I look forward to our collective work to become the university for Michigan.
Tar Heels, it has been an honor and a privilege to be your chancellor. As you begin this semester, I want to say thank you and encourage you as you continue your important work in teaching, learning, and growing as a community in service to our state.
Today,
@UNC
suspended University recognition of the campus chapters of Phi Gamma Delta, Kappa Sigma and Beta Theta Pi. We are taking this swift action today because the serious nature of their alleged criminal behavior is contradictory to our code of conduct.
Great comeback win for the Tar Heels today against FSU! GDTBATH as we welcomed students back into the Smith Center to cheer on the Heels and help Coach Williams earn his 900th career victory.
Vince Carter was playing for
@UNC_Basketball
when I first started here as a faculty member. He remains as beloved at Carolina today as he was then. It's been a true pleasure to watch his incredible career. Happy retirement,
@mrvincecarter15
!
Great start for the Heels in ACC tourney with 13pt win vs Louisville! Congrats to Luke Maye, recipient of the Skip Prosser Award for the top scholar-athlete in ACC men’s basketball for second year in a row!
Today’s violence at our nation’s Capitol building is unacceptable and threatens the very ideals of our country. On behalf of the Carolina community, I condemn this attack on our democracy and call for the peaceful transfer of power that defines our nation.
Congrats to UNC’s Austin O'Connor for reaching the summit of collegiate wrestling when he won the 149-pound NCAA Championship at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis today. Austin is UNC's 6th national champion wrestler and first since T.J. Jaworsky won the title in 1995. GDTBATH!
I would like to introduce the Twitter world to the newest addition of our Tar Heel family...meet Charlie "Choo Choo" Guskiewicz!
#CarolinaFamilyWeekend
Congratulations to fellow MacArthur grant winner
@tressiemcphd
! Your work to shed light on inequality and reimagine how our society functions is incredible. We are honored to have you at Carolina.
What a terrific surprise to start my Friday morning. As Chancellor, and more importantly as a
@TarHeelFootball
fan, it was amazing to receive this gift from my friend
@CoachMackBrown
. We’re so lucky that Mack is back!
Took a few minutes this morning to sneak over to
@KevinGuskiewicz
’s office and surprise him with a jersey to honor him being our 12th Chancellor. We’re so lucky to have Kevin in this role and he’ll continue to do great things for Carolina.
Congratulations to Carol Folt on her appointment as president of
@USC
. I know she will bring a high level of passion, energy and commitment as the new president. We wish her the very best in this new pursuit.
The unanimous choice of USC's Presidential Search Advisory Committee, President Folt will take office as USC's new president on July 1, 2019. Learn more about her in the USC News story:
Tar Heels, please watch tonight’s game safely and avoid large indoor or outdoor gatherings. COVID-19 doesn’t take a break for celebrations, so that means not rushing Franklin Street if we win. Go Heels!
Carolina Blue sky and fresh green grass around the Bell Tower (a new look)...made for a great sight on our early morning run around campus today. GDTBATH!
I am once again grateful and appreciative of our community as we came together to honor Dr. Zijie Yan’s memory in the Dean E. Smith Center last evening. Thank you to everyone who came and for everyone who sent their thoughts and well wishes.
#CarolinaStrong
Our hearts are breaking for our friends and colleagues at
@unccharlotte
. The end of the school year should be a time of celebration, not grief. For our
@UNC
community, resources are available if you need support.
Today I received an incredible honor, being inducted into the
@NATA1950
Hall of Fame. Thank you to my family, mentors, students and colleagues who were there with me and have supported me in so many ways.
I appreciated taking a moment of silence in honor of Dr. Zijie Yan at the Bell Tower earlier today with our community. I hope to see our community gather again at the candlelight vigil we will have this evening at 7:30 p.m. at the Dean E. Smith Center.
Thinking of
@michiganstateu
Spartans across the world as we remember and honor the students who tragically lost their lives and all of those impacted on this day last year. Spartans, I am with you.
#SpartansTogether
I've been at Carolina since 1995, but there's still nothing like a sip from the Old Well on the first day. I'm excited for the great things we're going to do together here at
#UNC
We climbed 2,071 stairs today at Kenan Stadium - representing 110 floors in the WTC towers - to commemorate the first responders who climbed on 9-11-01 to save civilians targeted in the attacks on our country. Thanks to our Army ROTC for organizing and to all who came out!
Enjoyed watching 3 great Tar Heel wins today with a Carolina Blue sky shining over our campus. Congrats to both our
@uncwlax
and
@uncMensLacrosse
teams for winning the ACC championship today; and to our amazing
@UNCFieldHockey
for advancing to the Final Four! GDTBATH!!
At 5:30 p.m. today we will ring the Bell Tower twelve times and join our country in remembering and honoring the lives lost to COVID-19.

#COVIDMemorial
High winds and saturated ground brought down a 150 year-old tree on McCorkle Place early this morning. I went out to thank Tom Bythell (a Massey award winner!) and our incredible grounds team for their quick response.
I share in the grief and frustration over George Floyd's death and denounce the actions of the police officers involved.
Tar Heels: You matter. Your dignity matters.
#YourVoiceMatters
. We're committed to building a
#UNC
community that reflects that.
Today's win was the 8⃣8⃣0⃣th in the head coaching career of Roy Williams, moving him into fourth place on the all-time wins list, passing Dean Smith (879).
#CarolinaFamily
Roy and Wanda Williams have always had a passion for Carolina, and in particular for our students. We're grateful for their generous gift and for the impact it will have on the Carolina community for generations of students to come.
Thank you to Wanda and Roy Williams for their generous $3 million donation to support multiple
#UNC
scholarships. Learn more about their gift to support scholarships for student-athletes, Carolina Covenant Scholars and Chancellor’s Science Scholars
Tough loss today for
@uncwomenssoccer
but we’re so proud of this team for making it to yet another ACC championship match. Congratulations on another great season.
#GoHeels
Being recognized for the 18th consecutive time as the best value in American public higher education demonstrates the dedication & excellence of our faculty, staff & students, as well as our deep commitment to access & affordability. Congratulations,

Grateful for our students, the Chamber,
@DukeChapel
, churches around the area, and community members who have reached out and offered
#UNC
assistance for this vigil. Our students made the ribbons we distribute tonight, echoing the initative and care of our community. Thank you.
After a difficult and heartbreaking week at Carolina, I have been amazed, but certainly not surprised, by the courage, empathy and grace that so many in our
#UNC
community have shown to one another.
Thank you to my family and our community for your support and encouragement on this wonderful day! Together, we will stay true to our founding ideals and close the gap between what we are and what we can be.
Congratulations to Carolina professor emeritus of history Bill Ferris on his two
#GRAMMYs
wins last night. This has been Bill’s life’s work and we’re all proud of this Tar Heel
I believe in the power of sports to uplift, unite, teach and bring joy, and it's a gift to watch our student-athletes in action. I look forward to cheering on
@uncwbb
and
@unc_basketball
tonight in their Sweet 16 showdowns. Go Heels!
A Tar Heel being named a Rhodes Scholar is always a reason to celebrate, and this year two outstanding students have earned this honor.
Congratulations to
@peterjandringa
and Sarah Mackenzie, Carolina's 50th and 51st Rhodes Scholars!
As we begin the new academic year, I am excited to have everyone back on campus. Together, we will discover and innovate as we advance Carolina forward as the leading global public research university. Let’s make this the best year yet. Go Heels!
#UNCWOW2019
We gathered at Kenan Stadium to commemorate the first responders who climbed the World Trade Center towers to save civilians targeted in the attacks on 9/11/01. The 2,071 stairs we climbed represented the 110 floors in the World Trade Center towers. A great Tar Heel tradition!
This video helped me to see our student athletes and artists in a new way. At Carolina, we celebrate how our culture of collaboration allows us to see the world from different angles, opening up new insights:
Big game tonight against our neighbors from down the road - good luck
@UNC_Basketball
! I hope everyone has a safe and fun night. Go Heels,
