UNC Student Remembered as Force for Campus Unity
CHAPEL HILL, NC — Grief-stricken students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill united last week in pledging good deeds to honor the life of slain student body president Eve Carson.
Speaking at the March 6 service, Rabbi Zalman Bluming, co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Chapel Hill and its campus-based Chabad House serving UNC and neighboring Duke University, challenged the collegians to “translate [your] emotion into action.”
“Don’t just read the news reports and feel a moment of anger, or sadness, grief or despair,” urged the rabbi, who led the ceremony co-sponsored by the campus Hillel. “Change your life in some small, but meaningful way. That change, that action, will bring the only possible consolation: the consolation of overcoming negativity, terror and destruction.”
Carson, 22, was found murdered the day before. The senior from Athens, Ga., was a noted supporter of campus student groups, and, according to officials, universally liked by UNC’s tight-knit college community.
