All Campus Flags Lowered in Honor of National Peace Officers Memorial Day

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper ordered all U.S. and North Carolina flags at state facilities to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday, May 15, in honor of National Peace Officers Memorial Day. Each year on May 15, this special day recognizes the many men and women of law enforcement who lost their lives or were injured in the line of duty

"Today, we honor the memories and sacrifices of brave law enforcement officers in North Carolina. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to those who risk their own safety to protect our communities," Cooper said.
