UNC Lineberger's Shelley Earp, MD, was honored as @UNCFootball's 'Hero of the Game' this past Saturday at Kenan Stadium.
After serving a total of 22 years as director of #UNCLineberger, Earp recently stepped down, leaving behind a legacy of leadership and dedication. A @UNC_SOM graduate and faculty member since 1977.
Earp has been going to Carolina games at Kenan Stadium since 1966.
