An e-mail message sent today by Chancellor Holden Thorp to UNC students

Message from the Chancellor: Cheering for the Tar Heels

It’s April, and we’re in the Final Four. We have so much to celebrate … the best coach and staff in college basketball, a fantastic team that continues to amaze us, and an athletics department that is a class act and does so much to define Carolina as a great university.

My family and I will be in Detroit cheering our hearts out. I encourage fans here to do the same in the Smith Center. And when you go to Franklin Street to celebrate, have fun.

But don’t forget safety. Chapel Hill police have set reasonable rules based on years of experience. Respect that – and think twice about being associated with bonfires, which put innocent people at great risk.
(Check our YouTube Channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/UNCChapelHill, for the facts on bonfires from Dr. Bruce Cairns, director of the N.C. Jaycee Burn Center.)

This has been another great season of Tar Heel basketball. So let’s show our team that they have the best fans in the country.

Go Heels!

Sincerely,

Holden Thorp
