Announcements, October 10, 2016

All of us here at the HSoM send our best wishes to alumni, colleagues, and other friends in eastern North Carolina and the entire coastal region for quick recovery from the effects of Hurricane Matthew. We hope that sunny fall days bring good opportunity to gather together, dry out, clean up, and rebuild. We'll feel grateful to be enjoying our most colorful time of year, as the autumn nears its peak here in the High Country. This week brings us the University's fall break, so here's a shout out to all for safe travels if you're headed away for the long weekend.
