"This University’s identity and mission are closely bound up with America’s great democratic experiment and participating in elections is one of the simplest things you can do to strengthen our civic life."
"To honor the University charter’s charge to 'prepare a rising generation' for the responsibilities of democracy, we must ensure our graduates are ready to embrace this country’s remarkable pluralism."
"We are the university of the people, built and sustained by generations of North Carolinians who may never have set foot in Chapel Hill but take pride in having a world-class university at the heart of our state."
"When Carolina’s researchers see the problems of this world, and particularly the challenges in our state, we act. Our researchers don’t look around to see who else might respond. We face the problem head-on, roll up our sleeves, and we get to work."
