This father watched his son turn his future around. Once in a school that was failing him, he found the Opportunity Scholarship and a school that changed everything. Academic scholarship. Full athletic scholarship. This is the power of opportunity!

Native South Carolinian Rev. Jesse Jackson Jr. taught us how to dream, “I am somebody”. His footprint will live on beyond those who tried block his fight for civil rights, voter protection & human decency. A giant tree has fallen but the world is better off because he lived ❤️

Seems like a good a day to re-up this South Carolina historical treasure from the former Senator from Clarendon about liquor, “the oil of conversation.”

At the dedication of the library that bears his name, Jim Hunt said: “The world doesn’t need another think tank. We need a think-and-do tank.” Think and Do has been NC State's mantra ever since.

Hunt died on Dec. 18. He was 88.

“To stand before you today as chancellor is a testament to the power of an NC State education.”

Four decades ago, Kevin Howell stepped foot on campus as a student. Today, he was installed as the university’s 15th chancellor. 🐺👏🧱 #NCStateChancellor

There's an awful video going viral of someone in Charlotte setting an opossum on fire.

The Carolina Wildlife Conservation Center says: Opossums are extremely beneficial to have in your backyard; they will eat copperheads and ticks. Opossums do not carry rabies and are one of the oldest surviving mammals having been on earth for 65 million years. Lack of education and awareness for backyard wildlife causes unnecessary and inhumane acts to happen against them.

Our team is constantly educating the public on how to coexist with backyard wildlife. Opossums will not harm you. In fact, our rehabilitation team has found that they have feelings, personalities, and emotions; they show love and affection to one another and their offspring. And most importantly, they feel pain just the same as humans
