Undergraduate End of Year Celebration
This year, 85+ intellectually curious, highly motivated students served as Parr Heels, conducting original research and creating opportunities for others to join their exploration in ethics. Students finished the year with a celebration at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. We are so proud of their accomplishments!
Students who participate in the Parr Center Ethics Scholar program invest significant time and effort in ethical reflection, leadership, and skill development over two years. Ethics Scholars are sharp, dedicated, and display a solid understanding of moral concepts. Students who complete the program are recognized as Parr Center Ethics Scholars by an official designation on their University transcript. Congratulations to our second-ever Ethics Scholar cohort!
“It feels like a warm hug to be celebrated by the same people who embody most of the joy I have experienced at UNC. The recognition is a testament to the influence of fellow Parr Heels, thoughtful friends of remarkable character!” “Winning the Innovation Award meant a lot to me because my pod worked incredibly hard this past year to create unique opportunities for the UNC community. It was truly an honor to win an award from an organization that has meant so much to me in my time at UNC.” “I am very grateful to be one of this year’s recipients of the Parr Heel Innovation Award! Getting to lead the Bioethics Pod with Shiv was one of my biggest highlights this year, and I cannot thank my fellow pod members (Lindsay, Karina, Akankshya, Divya, Jessica, and Numair) enough for all their help and support!” “Being a part of the Parr Center has been clarifying for me. The wonderful community at the Parr Center helped me understand the kind of impact I want to have on the world. Working alongside such passionate and driven people has allowed me to develop my ethics and given me te tools to participate in important conversations.”
