In a typical year, fewer than 40 students stay in campus housing over winter break. But this year, with the pandemic making it difficult for some students to return home, more than 300 Carolina students are planning to remain on campus throughout the nearly 50-day break.
And while there’s no place like home for the holidays, Carolina Housing is making spirits bright for the Tar Heels staying in their campus homes.
“The numbers alone tell the story of why there was a need for a special kind of engagement this year,” said Mariam Azzam, assistant director of marketing for Carolina Housing. “Our main goal is to keep in constant contact with winter break housing students, in non-traditional ways, to help keep a fun and healthy line of connection in the hopes of helping to stave off that feeling of isolation and loneliness, especially because campus is much emptier than usual.”
