The rich history of Carolina women’s athletics boasts 44 national championship titles, 49 individual national championships and two active Hall of Fame coaches. Perhaps even more impressive than this, is the inspiring collection of career paths forged by our women student-athlete alumnae. From doctors to CEOs to teachers, Carolina women have demonstrated time and again that their accomplishments in competition are just the beginning of their impact on the world.

FORevHER Tar Heels is an initiative led by The Rams Club and Carolina Athletics to celebrate and champion the women of Carolina Athletics’ past, present and future.

The Rams Club and Carolina Athletics aim to engage and activate a network of Tar Heels that will:

  • Offer opportunities to outstanding young women student-athletes to be part of the Carolina Family.
  • Provide resources for Carolina’s women’s sport programs to ensure success.
  • Participate in the development of student-athlete leaders who will impact their communities.
  • Celebrate the successes of Carolina Athletics letterwomen
  • Deliver the best student-athlete experience in the country!

Provide Opportunities

CHAMPION. INSPIRE. SUPPORT.

FORevHER Tar Heels is building and inspiring a Carolina community to champion our women student-

these women’s lives.
