Today is the final day of the 2024 Forum on The Hill! All this week, broadcast live on 97.9 The Hill, expert panels of community members and local leaders have been discussing topics ranging from collegiate athletics and university policy to local politics and how national issues affect lives in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, Durham and Pittsboro!

The Forum on The Hill is an annual event, and the 2024 iteration is presented by The Town of Chapel Hill, the Town of Carrboro, UNC Health and Wegmans. Conversations are posted on Chapelboro.com once they’ve concluded on air.
