The second annual “Hail to UNCP!” celebrating UNC Pembroke traditions will be held on Tues., August 17th at 8:30pm. The event will begin at the University Center Mall and end at the Ira Pate and Reba Lowry Bell Tower. The Spirit of the Carolinas Marching Band will lead the gathering from the mall to the tower, where participants will be welcomed by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Dr. Diane Jones, and listen to a brief presentation about University traditions, including history, landmarks, events and remarkable individuals.

Questions like, ‘why is the UNCP mascot a red-tailed hawk and nicknames the Braves?’ or ‘what is the alma mater?’ all will be answered. The first annual “Hail to UNCP” event was a success last year, and this year’s is also expected to be strong. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community are encouraged to attend.
