Carolina Week Testimonial: Carolina Week is unlike any other course you'll take at UNC Chapel Hill. Far from just a class, Carolina Week is a fast-paced job and a great social network in one. You learn journalism best by doing it - and Carolina Week provides students the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and shoot stories, write copy, edit video, produce newscasts and so much more. Although I've not worked as a journalist since graduation, my Carolina Week experiences have proved invaluable. Working well with other people, meeting quick deadlines and communicating in a concise manner are important skills in every career.
