Across 28 sports programs, the robust offerings of Carolina Athletics directly impact and change the lives of more than 800 student-athletes each year. Athletic programs at UNC engage the university directly with the community, from big-ticket events like Carolina Basketball rivalry games and Tar Heel football at Kenan Stadium to non-revenue sports — like fencing!

The success of Carolina’s athletic programs is due in part to stellar coaching — staff like Karen Shelton give the Tar Heels a reputation for winning — and the inherent academic attraction to the nation’s oldest public university also plays a role in recruiting stellar future student-athletes.
