students working together / Heels for heels
We (UNC faculty, staff at The Pitch, our invaluable corporate partners, Tar Heel alumni) inform and empower the students to do their own learning from the ground up, from ideation to implementation—seeing obstacles and creating work-arounds, defining success and doing our best to meet those measures, valuing the work as teams of Tar Heels trying to do good and do well in the world.
