Fall Welcome Week Schedule + Carolina Way Casual

August 3-9: Welcome Week on the Study Center lawn
11am - 3pm, daily

Please let us know when you plan to stop by!

On the day of your move-in, we invite you and your family to come visit us under the 40’ x 60’ tent on the two-acre Study Center front lawn! We’ll have spaced-out picnic tables set up, refreshments, and several staff members and student leaders present to greet you between 11am and 3pm.

When not in the midst of a COVID-pandemic, the Study Center is a revolving door of students constantly buzzing with life, conversations, and various activities. We are a "home away from home" for you while you're at UNC, a community hub that encourages you to grow and connect with God and one another. We’re a short five-minute walk from the Pit. Over 100 students stop by throughout the average day for all kinds of reasons: the best coffee (or tea) in town, comfortable places to study, a place to meet with friends on the front porch rocking chairs, or to play with the house dog, Barrie, on the lawn. 

While this fall will be scaled-down as we follow UNC’s COVID-guidelines, the Study Center ethos will be the same. We’ll continue to offer a wide-range of optional Christian educational programs and public events designed to help you grow as a spiritually integrated, holistic person and student during your four years at UNC.

August 11: Regular hospitality hours begin at the Study Center
9am - 5pm, daily

Beginning on FDOC (the first day of class), our tent and lawn will be open daily (Monday – Friday) from 9am - 5pm.  Come visit us anytime for any reason! Refreshments will be available.  

Please also enjoy this short video from Amber Younger (Director of Hospitality & Operations) on what daily hospitality will look like this semester.
