University of North Carolina Greensboro — Attraction in Greensboro

I was a long distance student at the university, and I have to say that from day one my adviser through the Liberal Studies program was disastrously unhelpful. By unhelpful I mean that her modus operandi is to get you to email other people, not offering you any sort of welcome or assessment of what you need to be successful when you start the program (and this is normal for the other schools I attended, long distance or not). She was basically a ghost, and not at all like Casper. When I needed help with a situation, she blamed me, basically shrugged her shoulders, and I had to email a bunch of people to actually solve the problem I had (that she could have fixed, and was fixed by someone else, in five minutes' time). It was not a good experience with her at all, and I felt confused and exhausted trying to become an expert at her job while also trying to focus on graduating. I don't know the point of an adviser who doesn't reach out and advise and make you feel like part of a community. Another thing that was terribly awful about the program was the language requirement. Part of my not getting advised was realizing at the last minute (luckily two semesters out) that I had to take four languages instead of two. (Two is NORMAL EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.) Seriously, four languages is nothing more than a money grab, especially with the way the classes peddle idioms that no one actually uses when speaking the language. They are not taught in a way that encourages you to actually learn the language. It's a box to be checked off then promptly forgotten. You want people to know about other cultures? Have a culture class that explores the history and lives of people. Not four years of a language. Two years is the standard. It's a fine standard. Standards everywhere nod in approval of this standard. Stop with this ridiculous requirement. The last complaint I have is that the liberal studies program teaches diversity...and yet all I had in it were white teachers. Having white teachers explain diverse materials is not the same. It just isn't. Hire more POC. Hire more WOC. Stand behind your liberal message and be diverse in who you pay to teach, not just in the books and ideas you sell. There were a couple of teachers who were truly good, like Dr. McKinnon and Dr. Millett-Gallant, and did their best, but the program...

I received a Baseball Scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.. I doubled major in Business Management and Exercise Sport Science and a minor in Communication.. That was a nightmare..17 Credits a semester and playing baseball did not work out especially when I'm not very smart to begin with....:) I played right field and hit Cleanup for the Spartans. UNCG was in the Big South my junior year. I was All Conference.. UNCG switched to the Southern Conference a larger Conference my senior year and I was 1st Team All Conference, All Tournament, Reebok Div 1 Player of the Week, and led the team in hitting batting cleanup and playing center field...I consider myself leading the Conference in batting because I had 100 more at bats than the player that received the award. I was the 100th best player in the Nation. My batting avg was. .380 The other player hit .381. We might share the title. I went to Spring Training for the Los Angeles Dodgers. I ended up signing with the Dubois County Dragons. I moved to Los Angeles and lived in Woodland Hills. I was dating a former Actress who worked at Messina Baker Entertainment. There main clients at the time were Drew Carey, Tim Allen and Janeen Garafalo Sp? I met with Rick Sullivan who had an office in LA who was the agent for Mike Piazza. I had an agent at the time and his name was Vince Panetierre. I worked at Mark Stevens private gym in downtown LA and was fortunate to have the opportunity to workout with a personal trainer who was the first female trainer or conditioning coach for the NY Jets. I trained hard for the upcoming season. I had no idea the CIA was already making calls to end my career one way or another..There was information found in CIA documents that pertained to my Grandfather Colonel George Kenneth Rubel Commander of the 740th Tank Battallion Battle of the Bulge. Information that explained the CIA had targeted and planned on killing Colonel Rubels entire family. I was named after my Grandfather. He saved the Country of Belgium from the German Forces...He wrote a book called DareDevil Tankers. 740th...7 times 4 equals 28.....The day I was born is 28..Over 3000 federal Bar Codes have 28 listed on them. Over 300 movies were made about my life or an experience I had. Kenny Powers is just...

Attended Admitted Spartans Day with my daughter in late March and we fell in love with this school. We have visited approximately 20 colleges to that point and none gave us the definitive feeling that this was HER school like UNCG. What sold us immediately was the academic program presentation for nursing. We loved that we had the opportunity to meet with about a dozen faculty, staff and students who very clearly expressed their passion not only for the nursing profession but for UNCG during the Q&A and tour. The nursing school building itself is new which was also a welcome change as I have viewed quite a few nursing schools and they were very old and run down. They had state of the art facilities with numerous simulation labs and high fidelity mannequins as well as an anatomage table to practice dissection using 4D and I was excited to learn they will also be incorporating virtual reality into their program next year. Aside from the nursing school, we also enjoyed having a meal in one of the dining halls, checking out the dorms and walking around campus and meeting with other students along the way. Everyone was so lovely. Very excited for my daughter to...
