    @UNIVGAZETTE GAZETTE.UNC.EDU VOL. 43, NO. 9 CAROLINA FACULTY AND STAFF NEWS MAY 16, 2018 Rye Barcott to graduates: ‘Do not run from the pain’ or the more than 6,000 students sitting in a sea of Carolina blue in Kenan Stadium on May 13, the F journey to graduation was anything but easy. There were demanding classes, all-nighters and count- less assignments to overcome on the way, but those chal- lenges led to a degree from Carolina. As the graduates prepare for the next phase of their careers, Marine veteran and social entrepreneur Rye Bar- cott urged them to continue taking their challenges and turning them into something useful and positive. “The truth is, many of life’s most fulfilling moments— and most accomplishments—rarely happen without some degree of pain,” he said. Barcott, the co-founder of nonprofits Carolina for Kibera and With Honor, delivered the Commencement address as Carolina celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2018. Chancellor Carol L. Folt presided over the ceremony that drew nearly 30,000 of the graduates’ family and friends, as well as Board of Governors Chair W. Louis Bis- sette, Board of Trustees Vice Chair Charles G. Duckett and General Alumni Association Board of Directors Chair Jim Delany. The degrees of 6,119 Carolina students were conferred during the 90-minute ceremony. They included 3,886 with bachelor’s, 1,596 with master’s, 262 with doctoral and 637 with professional degrees from the schools of dentistry, law, medicine, nursing and pharmacy.
