Giving Tuesday 2022

November 29, 2022 is Giving Tuesday, a day in which millions of people contribute to organizations that make a difference in our world.  Here in the Department of Biology at UNC, not only do we strive to make positive contributions through scientific discovery, we also strive to make a positive difference in the lives of our students.  We hope that we made a positive difference for you.

If we did, please take a moment to give back and/or to share your story with us:

1. Give back

Support the students who are following in your footsteps by making a donation to the Biology Department.

Double your donation! The first $2,000 donated on Giving Tuesday will be matched by a member of our faculty.  Contributions of any amount are greatly appreciated and will be used to advance student excellence in our department.

DONATE NOW

 

2. Share your Carolina story

Give a shout out to the students, faculty, or staff who helped you here at Carolina! How did we influence your career or life path? We’ll post your stories at the bottom of this page throughout the day on Giving Tuesday.

UNC undergraduates Ellen Weaver, Mary Alex Beverly, and Amelia Milano show off a Luna Moth caterpillar (Actias luna) found at Prairie Ridge Ecostation in Raleigh, NC.  Their research aims to identify how the abundance and seasonal timing of arthropods is impacted by climate change and urbanization, and in turn impacts bird populations.  Photograph by Allen Hurlbert
