What’s your Carolina Snapshot? Every day, in a multitude of ways, Carolina students demonstrate their engagement, leadership, and creativity. Being a Tar Heel can mean anything from wearing Carolina Blue to drinking from the Old Well to working in a community garden to doing research in a foreign country. 

Submit your photos of campus life at Carolina by tagging your public Twitter or Instagram photos with #carolinasnapshots. The Carolina Union wants to put your photos on display in the Art Gallery to provide a snapshot of Carolina to all incoming students, parents and families, and other members of the University community.

Guidelines:

Participation is open to all members of the University community.
To submit a photo/photos, post with your public Twitter or Instagram account and tag #carolinasnapshots.
Only posts from public Twitter and Instagram accounts can be accessed for the exhibit.
You may submit photos from the 2015-2016 academic year and/or current photos.
Photos with offensive or inappropriate content will be deleted.
By submitting your photo, you agree to allow the Carolina Union to share your photo via social media accounts, website, and to include the photo in the exhibit.
There is no limit to the number of photos you may submit.
This program is co-sponsored by the Carolina Union and the Carolina Union Activities Board.

This year the Union’s student employees have been on a magical adventure as they competed for the ultimate prize of the Union Cup. At the culminating event, our End of Term Feast, the Union Cup was awarded to the house that has garnered the most gems with their excellent service to all. While all houses teetered on greatness, only one house came out on top. Those golden snitches hidden in the Union at the end of the semester also helped quite a bit as well. In third place was Gryffindor with 285.  In second place with 305 was Hufflepuff. Fetching 375 gems, it is our pleasure to announce The Order of The Phoenix as the winner of the Union Cup. Congratulations to Events Planning and Information Desk student staff, and thanks to everyone for making our year a great success!
Check out all of the photos from the End of Term Feast.

Zach Smathers was recently honored at the Carolina Union End of Term Feast as the 2014 Employee of the Semester. Throughout this semester, Zach has succeeded beyond staff expectations in his new role as Operations Scheduling Manager. He has worked diligently to streamline and improve the scheduling process in the department, and has proven very reliable in his role when sudden scheduling needs have arisen. Zach is also an extremely reliable and dedicated Operations Supervisor and takes a vested interest in the involvement and development of the department, particularly through CUEF. We thank Zach for all he has done this semester; please join us in congratulating him.
