The Carolina First Campaign Steering Committee guided efforts to generate the record-breaking support for the University that is taking Carolina to the top.
These dedicated volunteers engaged alumni and friends, identified leadership donors and told the Carolina story across the U.S. and around the globe. A core group of long-time friends and donors and the heads of special focus committees—representing a broad range of constituencies—made up the Steering Committee.
Steering Committee members gave a total of $158 million to Carolina First.

Carolina First Campaign Regional Committees formed a far-reaching volunteer structure to involve as many alumni and friends as possible in the campaign. Committee chairs, who also were on the Carolina First Campaign Steering Committee, recruited around a dozen members to serve with them. All told, there were 280 regional volunteers across the United States, plus 30 in Europe. The chief mission of the committees was to help raise the University’s profile in their areas.
Along with making leadership gifts, committee members helped to identify prospects and develop solicitation strategies. These strategies included phone calls, face-to-face visits and opening the door for gift officers or administrators.
A key activity of the committees was hosting regional events to bring Carolina alumni and friends together to hear the campaign message from the chancellor, deans, directors and faculty. Over the course of Carolina First, they hosted nearly 300 events.
Regional Committee members gave a total of $124 million to Carolina First. Three regions—Georgia, Metro-New York and North Carolina—each contributed more than $100 million to the campaign, and their leadership is featured in the Q&As on pages 10–11.
