Lost Boys of Southern Sudan inspire hope for the future

Meredith students have been studying the country of Sudan and viewed a film depicting the Lost Boys’ escape from civil war and their difficult journey [...]
Seeing my “shadow” today means a bright future for us all
Sir Walter Wally, the Triangle’s official groundhog, saw his shadow today, meaning we may have 6 more weeks of wintery weather in the horizon.
At the same time, I saw 10 of my own “shadows” — “job shadows” that is — at work, proving that our future may be a cold one, but it is most [...]
Peace.
On Friday, I attended my college’s Alumnae Board meeting and Promise of Peace fundraising campaign kick off event on the college grounds. The President of Peace College, Laura Bingham, who is always full of energy and inspiration shared this quote with us…

My colleague Wayne Sutton has given me the important task of coordinating volunteers for the upcoming “BlogCarolinas: A Conversation about Social Media in the Enterprise“ event. What’s Social Media, you ask? While the definitions are constantly evolving, many see it about blogging, vlogging, twittering or having a My Space or Facebook account. Unlike other more established media, [...]
Protect your vote today…
I was just listening to the radio and learned about a Hotline specifically for Indiana and North Carolina primary voter questions today. They are called The National Campaign for Fair Elections – Election Protection. Apparently, during the primaries in February, March and April Election Protection got over 6000 calls! If you have any questions or [...]
