Autumn on Campus

The Iconic Turning of Maples

By UNC Asheville

October 23^rd, 2020

Fall at UNC Asheville is one of the most beautiful times on campus, with the Turning of the Maples and leaves scattered over the sidewalks. Since all of the UNC Asheville community can't witness the change of season in person this year, we hope these pictures bring you a pumpkin spice hug.

This year's socially-distanced Turning of the Maples celebration included a Live at Lunch outdoor performance by the student songwriting and bluegrass ensembles.

If you couldn't make it to Turning of the Maples on campus this year, this 360-degree video brings you there (be sure to click and drag within the video to look around!).

While the maples on the Quad get lots of adoration (and rightfully so!), there's plenty of autumn beauty to be found all across campus.
