Welcome First-year Student!


The University of North Carolina has removed the word “freshman” from official university documents, citing as their reason an attempt to adopt more “gender inclusive language.”  In its place, gender inclusive terms (first year student and upper-level student) will be used on University Documents, Policies, and Websites.   Oh, boy person!  No, from my perspective, a student who has under thirty credit hours will still be called a "Freshmen."  Sorry, University of North Carolina, but I believe you have gone overboard on this one.
