What was on Thorp's schedule?

What did Holden Thorp do in Atlanta?

A schedule provided to Dome shows the UNC-Chapel Hill chancellor was pretty busy up through this morning.

On Wednesday, he flew to Atlanta on a state jet with his wife, two kids and three staffers. (One of the staffers then rode the plane back to Raleigh.)

That afternoon, Thorp toured CNN's headquarters, though a similar tour of the ABC News headquarters was canceled due to breaking news. That night, he was the guest speaker at an alumni reception.

On Thursday, Thorp toured The Westminster Schools, had lunch with philanthropist Charlie Loudermilk, met with the president of the Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation and then the CEO of SunTrust Banks, and went to a dinner party hosted by the CEO of the Marcus Institute and his wife.

This morning, he attended a three-hour meeting of heads of the other Atlantic Coast Conference schools, the last event on his schedule.

Thorp and his family return Sunday.
