Country star and North Carolina native @ericchurchmusic delivered a memorable keynote address for #UNC26 at Spring Commencement, capping it off with a performance of his hit song “Carolina” for the Kenan Stadium crowd.
Before that, he shared his own spin on string theory and how it applies to graduates, who donned Carolina Blue sunglasses in a nod to Church.
Discover how Church inspired #UNC’s newest alumni with lessons on connection and finding their way home 🩵
Long before Eric Church was selling out arenas, he was a North Carolina kid finding his path just like the graduates sitting in Kenan Stadium Saturday night.
As he addressed #UNC26, Church reflected on the importance of community, connection and having a place to return to no matter where life leads.
“And if you get lost, and at some point you will, you have a place where you belong,” Church said. “Come back, walk through the Quad on a fall day or sit on Franklin Street on a game day, and remember: These are my people because you are a Tar Heel.”
Moms make Carolina feel a little more like home 🩵
Happy Mother’s Day to every Tar Heel mom, bonus mom and mother figure who cheered us on every step of the way!
From late nights in Davis to celebrating in Kenan Stadium, this is your moment, Tar Heels!
