Carolina Week Testimonial: At first, Carolina Week scared me to death. After showing up one day during the spring of my sophomore year, I was so overwhelmed with the pace and jargon of the newsroom that it took me a solid year to catch my breath and come crawling back. It wasn't until the fall of my senior year that I really got involved with Carolina Week, but from that point on I was hooked. After doing everything from running prompter to anchoring and producing my first live show, it didn't take long for me to realize that CW is more than a class - it's a family. I've learned more, laughed more, and made more lasting friends than I ever could have expected. There's nothing at UNC quite like Carolina Week, and it's something I'm extremely proud to have been a part of.
