Ruben Rakonczai moved to the United States from Hungary with a suitcase and his parents looking for a better life. The Tar Heel and his family will make another step forward in that journey this weekend when Rakonczai graduates from Carolina.
After years of hard work, late nights and a lot of determination, more than 1,300 Carolina students will begin a new chapter of their lives Dec. 12 as their degrees are conferred at the University’s annual Winter Commencement.
