Eric Montross of Chapel Hill, a member of the 1993 NCAA championship Tar Heels team and former professional player, and Emily Williamson of Hildebran, a 2003 graduate and now vice president of student development at Western Piedmont Community College, received the UNC General Alumni Association’s 2009 Distinguished Young Alumni Awards at a banquet held Friday, Oct. 2.
The association also made the award posthumously, for the first time, to Eve Carson, the student body president from Athens, Ga. who died in March 2008, two months before she was to have graduated.
