Bringing holiday cheer to a gloomy day

The Jingle Bell Jog, an annual tradition for UNC-Chapel Hill faculty and staff, returned Dec. 5, with Tar Heels becoming Santas, elves and reindeer. Attendees also had the opportunity to make canned-food donations to the Carolina Cupboard and support the Orange County Animal Shelter. (Photos by Jon Gardiner/UNC-Chapel Hill)
