Eve Carson's Memorial Service

Last Tuesday, I traveled to University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill for the day to attend Eve Carson's Memorial Service and Celebration of her life at the UNC campus.  Eve was the Student Body President of UNC.  Soon after hearing of Eve's death, the ACC Student Body Presidents engaged in an email thread to discuss what each of our schools were doing to show support for our colleagues at our ACC-sister school.  Myself and the Wake Forest Student Body President, Whitney Marshall, attended the service.  I also realized that Eve was the inspiration for us to create our own YouTube channel for Student Government.  I recall watching a YouTube video she made last semester introducing herself and the SG office to students on the web.  I sent an email to Molly Jones back in November, sharing my excitement about the idea and "how cool would it be to mimic what UNC's SG is doing".

Here are some pictures I took from my phone while I visited their Student Government office:

The memorial service was very touching.  You can see videos below.  The arena was packed with friends, family, and others wearing Carolina baby blue in support of Eve.
