They gathered Thursday evening at The Carolina Inn for a night of fellowship, celebration and great food.
Those are the three things that Dr. Michelle Brown, Assistant Provost and Director of UNC's Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes (ASPSA), said 1998 graduate Daniel Rupp hoped for when he approached Carolina Athletics with his vision for a dinner that recognizes the men's and women's teams with the highest grade point averages. Rupp donated the money for the first celebration, held Feb. 28. And it won't be the last.
In what will be a yearly event, members of the men's fencing and women's cross country teams were honored for their academic accomplishments during the 2017-18 school year with a feast at the Carolina Inn's Chancellor's Ballroom.
