This Day in the History of the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Carolina Union President Amy Lawler calls for the student body to "take a stand and show your support for the Union. It is our turn to leave a mark on this University." The student body agreed overwhelmingly and passed the Renovation and Expansion Referendum, which gave approval for an increase in student fees to pay for the $14.2 million project.

Chancellor Michael Hooker unveiled "The Carolina Computing Initiative," an effort to ensure that students, faculty and staff have easy access to high-quality and affordable technology and the ability to effectively utilize it.
