You’re invited to a big bash in fall 2021

Keep up with all the happenings at ecl225.unc.edu. Click the image below to view a larger version.

“With the celebration of the 225th year of English at Carolina, I began to imagine the kind of students we might have had through the ages. I did my research and came up with this. They’re all fictional characters but correspond to what students might have looked like at the time.” — Daniel Wallace
