🧀 Happy National Cheese Day!

Meet Shannon Herlihy '18 — an Environmental Science alum who discovered that artisan cheese is about far more than food. It's a vehicle for food justice, preserving traditional farming practices, and keeping small family farms alive worldwide.

From launching UNC Asheville's food pantry to working with small-scale cheesemakers across Europe, Shannon's story is proof that feeding a better world starts here.

Garden & Gun just named Asheville one of the South's finest music towns, and Bulldogs helped make it happen! 🎸🏔️

Drop of Sun Studios, founded by UNC Asheville Music Technology alumni Adam McDaniel '16 and Alex Farrar '14, gets a shoutout in the feature for recording artists like MJ Lenderman and Animal Collective. What started in a basement grew directly out of the connections and training they found here on campus.

From Shindig on the Green's 60th summer to the Grey Eagle's packed calendar, Asheville's music scene runs deep, and our graduates are helping shape it.
