While many students at Carolina rely on modern technology to complete assignments, those in Professor Ruth von Bernuth’s GERM 227 class took a more old-school approach: a hands-on experience with the University Libraries’ 19th-century printing press. unc.edu/posts/2025/09/…

Today is the fall equinox! The sun is positioned directly over the equator, resulting in roughly equal amounts of day and night. To celebrate the beginning of fall, we've pulled a couple of vintage fall images from the 1974 edition of UNC's yearbook, Yackety Yack.
