The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

We Celebrate Our Veterans!

Boot Print to Heel Print 

The Office of the Dean of Students and the Veterans Resource Team proudly hosted the 2nd Annual Boot Print to Heel Print (BPTHP) Orientation program which is designed specifically for military-affiliated students (Newly enrolled, readmitted, or deferred enrollment students who are active duty, veteran, reservist or National Guard). The program provides an opportunity for students to learn how to utilize all the great resources that are available to aid in their success at Carolina, to build skills that are needed in the classroom, and to connect with other military-affiliated students on campus. 

This year, we added an additional social event for students, faculty, and staff to meet one another and partake in good old fashioned BBQ catered by Ole NC BBQ! See pics from the 2017 BPTHP festivities: PDF iconbpthp_2017_pic_collage.pdf
