Mia Hamm, one of the most accomplished soccer players in history and a four-time NCAA champion at UNC, will deliver the keynote address at the school’s 2025 Spring Commencement at Kenan Stadium on Saturday, May 10.

The selection was announced during the UNC Board of Trustees meeting held Thursday morning and later shared by the university on its website.
“We are elated that Mia Hamm — arguably the most famous woman athlete in the world — will give the keynote address and share her unique perspective with our Class of 2025 graduates and their guests,” said Chancellor Lee Roberts. “She’s a wonderful example of Carolina excellence, and we eagerly await the insights and advice she has for our graduates.”

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that she is one of the greatest performers in her sport — at any level, of all time,” Roberts concluded to the trustees.
Hamm led Carolina to national titles in 1989, 1990, 1992, and 1993. She skipped the 1991 season to compete with the U.S. Women’s National Team in the first-ever FIFA Women’s World Cup, which she also won. Upon returning to Chapel Hill, Hamm earned National Player of the Year honors in 1992 and 1993.

She was also a three-time All-American, three-time ACC Player of the Year, and a two-time ACC Female Athlete of the Year. Her 278 total points (103 goals and 72 assists) are still an NCAA scoring record. The Tar Heels played 95 matches in which Hamm appeared and lost only once.
While representing Team USA, Hamm scored 158 international goals (a record among male and female players from 2004 until 2013), winning two World Cups and two Olympic gold medals. She was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2007.
