I’m officially on the hunt for a full-time gig so if anyone knows a role I would be great for, please DM or 📧 me @ [email protected] 🫶🏾

@elmunc @UNC Not surprised that the @UNC system's desire for its universities to avoid duplicating each other's major strengths lacks consistency or logic. And that this could further undercut UNC-Chapel Hill humanities. And what does NCSU's top engineering @NCStateEngr think about this?

Did you know Musical star Josephine Baker, was also a spy in World War 2 for the French Air Force!

In France, she found fame and freedom after fleeing racism in America. She led a double life. She became a spy informing on the Nazis. #WomenHistoryMonth
