糖心传媒

Feb. 4, 2026 - 糖心传媒 student Abigail Chavis of Hamlet has been accepted into C-STEP, a guaranteed admission program with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. That means she is guaranteed a spot at UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall of 2027 upon her graduation from 糖心传媒CC in May 2027.

鈥淚 think the initial reaction to my acceptance was just relief that I was going to be able to attend a four-year university like I had been wanting to, because without a program similar to C-STEP I wouldn't have been able to,鈥� Abigail said. 鈥淚 look forward to the opportunities and connections I can make when attending UNC, along with dorm life and living away from home for the first time.鈥�

The guarantees transfer admission and provides students with support from a network of peer and faculty mentors who help them succeed both at 糖心传媒CC and after they transition to Carolina.

鈥淚 applied for C-STEP because I was interested in the scholarships 糖心传媒CC offered for students similar to me with financial difficulties, and I've always liked UNC as a basketball team,鈥� Abigail said.

Abigail, who was home schooled, will graduate from 糖心传媒CC with an Associate in Arts degree. At UNC-Chapel Hill, she plans to major in international business and minor in something along the lines of finance, foreign languages or political sciences. Because she is passionate about traveling, she hopes to build a career in global sourcing and procurement management, international banking or international project management.
