Yes thats right, the famous segment often shown in the Dean Dome has taken on a new form the biology department has created its own version of the I am a Tar Heel video.

Kelly Hogan, a senior lecturer in the biology department, is the mastermind behind the video. She said she got the idea one day when she saw the original video in the Dean Dome with her husband, Brian Hogan, who is also a member of the faculty at UNC.

Its a powerful video, and the students especially love it. We envisioned a silly scenario of students going wild if professors were on the big screen at the game, Kelly Hogan said.

Kelly Hogans purpose with the video was to provide a sense of community, and show the students that the professors can have a bit of fun.

She intends to show the video at the departmental graduation ceremony in May.

She said that while the students might not go crazy when they see their professors on the board, it will give the students a little something to remember.

With the NCAA Tournament going on, students tend to pull a few sick days to watch basketball, but professors are just as excited about March Madness as we are.

Gregory Copenhaver, an associate professor in the biology department, said that the department has so much school spirit that they have to mop it off the floors.

Im pretty sure that our devotion to college basketball is so passionate that if we tried we would be eligible for tax-free status as a religion, Copenhaver said.

Jean Desaix, another senior lecturer in the biology department, reiterated the same sentiment.
