The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will remember the late Eve Carson, student body president and member of the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees, and celebrate her life in a memorial service at 4 p.m. Tuesday (March 18) in the Dean E. Smith Center. Doors to the Smith Center will open at 3 p.m.
Everyone is encouraged to wear Carolina blue.

 Getting to the memorial service

Students, faculty and staff on campus are urged to walk to the Smith Center or use the campus RU and U buses, which will have extra buses added to their routes before and after the service.
