The day has come to vote for Homecoming king and queen, as well as the senior class gift -- the first time the two elections have been held online the same day.
This year all students can vote online through Student Central for Homecoming king and queen between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Seniors have the same option for the senior class gift and can vote between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The candidates for Homecoming queen are Rhonda Patterson, Susan Peters and Margaret Young. Larry Braithwaite and Berry French are each running for Homecoming king.
Each candidate is touting a unique service project.
Patterson, a senior Spanish and communication studies major sponsored by the Black Student Movement, has proposed a service project titled, "Home is Where the Heart Is," which focuses on organ donation.
Peters, a senior health policy and administration major under the sponsorship of Sangam, the South Asian awareness organization, will promote different cultures by teaching two classes to high school and middle school students.
Young, a senior international studies major sponsored by the Residence Hall Association, hopes to start a project called "Housing for Housing" that will combine the efforts of Habitat for Humanity with the residence hall programs.
Braithwaite, a senior public policy major sponsored by UNC Learning from Experience, will promote reading in schools through a project called "Our Authors of Tomorrow."
French, a senior leisure studies and recreation administration major sponsored by the Campus Y, has proposed a service project with the group's Hunger and Homelessness Outreach Project Committee that would include a day of recreational activities for underprivileged children.
