Carolina Alumni invites all seniors to climb the Bell Tower. Thanks to the generous support of more than 61,000 Carolina Alumni members, we are thrilled to extend this tradition to seniors during Senior Week. We will allow climbing after 9 a.m. We will close the line at 4 p.m. All seniors in line by 4 p.m. will be allowed to climb. This is a first-come, first-served event.

Don’t miss out on all of the excitement: Enjoy the first drop of the Carolina Alumni Review Senior Edition, grab some tasty bites from food trucks, have fun with music and games, and take home exclusive swag and discounts. Play a round of cornhole and snap some fun memories at the photo booth. Plus, there will be exciting giveaways throughout the day.

Class of ’26 Senior Edition: Campus distribution starts at this event, Wednesday, April 8, during the Bell Tower Climb. Details. Senior T-shirts will also be for sale during this event.

The Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower is one of our favorite campus landmarks. Climbing the Bell Tower with Carolina Alumni adds 256 steps to your day (128 going up, 128 coming down). From ground to the fourth floor landing, you can say “I climbed the Bell Tower.” Check out facts about the Bell Tower.
