Many seniors have no idea what they’re going to do after graduation — but alumni said they shouldn’t be too worried.

Plans for UNC’s 2012 Homecoming concert have already begun. And Tom Low, incoming president of the Carolina Union Activities Board, wants to make them more transparent.

Three pairs of candidates are running for senior class co-presidents, hoping to represent their peers — and have a good time — in their last year at UNC.

The Carolina Union Activities Board has announced the headlining group for the Homecoming concert on October 29.

More than 500 wrapped boxes stuffed with various prizes and UNC gear filled the Pit on Friday. For several hours, cheers from bystanders encouraged students to be aggressive and rip apart the boxes, one of which included a laptop. The General Alumni Association, which used money built into its budget to purchase the prizes, ran the event.

Carolina graduates are expected to return in droves for the William and Mary football game Oct. 30. However, alumni are not coming home just for a football game. The General Alumni Association is hosting an Alumni Milestone Mixer at Top of the Hill’s new Back Bar on Oct. 29 from 8 to 10 p.m.

Even years after they graduate, UNC’s alumni still play a vital role in bringing top students to campus.

The General Alumni Association, primarily charged with providing a network of support for graduates, also plays an aggressive role in working with UNC’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions to recruit the nation’s best undergraduate students.

A few Tar Heels clad in caps and gowns on Sunday weren't seniors and weren't at Kenan Stadium to graduate. After a weekend spent celebrating their 50th reunion, the class of 1957 topped off their festivities by leading in the procession of graduating seniors.

Students can expect to see plenty of alumni at parties and even in some classes trying to relive their UNC experiences during this year's Homecoming weekend.

Alumni are already getting nostalgic by printing up their old class T-shirts and making plans for weekend poker games with old UNC buddies.

For many fans this Homecoming weekend, the game will be as much about nostalgia as victory.

The General Alumni Association and alumni volunteers have made an effort this Homecoming weekend to get as many old Carolina hands as possible into the stands and the town.
