At the UNC Board of Trustees’ fall meeting this week, the board took on one issue designed to boost students’ pride and spirit.

Student Body President Jasmin Jones had a lot of serious topics to discuss with the UNC Board of Trustees this week.

But Chairman Bob Winston says one item on her agenda brought a smile to everyone’s face.

Jones says the UNC homecoming parade hasn’t happened since the mid-‘90s, but with a season-closing football game against Duke, the timing was right. And based on her plans, it promises to be a big event.

Jones says that only 50 groups can be included in the parade because of time constraints. But just like the board, students are already getting excited.

For now, the plans for the parade march on.
