Small Business Administration leader speaks on entrepreneurial success
Karen Gordon Mills, appointed by President Obama to lead the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), will visit UNCG Wednesday, Feb. 15.
Mills’ presentation, “The Path to Entrepreneurial Success: Capitalizing on Opportunities and Resources,” will begin at 2:30 p.m. in the Elliott University Center Auditorium. She will take questions from local entrepreneurs after her presentation, and will speak to area media from 3:30-4 p.m.
Mills’ visit to UNCG is part of a tour of U.S. colleges and universities that includes George Washington University and the University of Colorado-Boulder. She was drawn to UNCG because of the university’s nationally recognized entrepreneurship initiatives such as the N.C. Entrepreneurship Center and the Entrepreneurship Cross-Disciplinary Program, said Mike Tarrant, UNCG’s director of strategic initiatives.
Dr. MacRae C. Banks II, dean of the Bryan School of Business and Economics, will moderate the event, which includes a panel discussion with local entrepreneurs. The presentation is free and open to the public, but attendees should register online at http://thepathatuncg.eventbrite.com/.
UNCG will also stream the discussion. Watch live online at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-path-at-uncg. Full Story »

Play explores life through the ‘Stage Door’ Feb. 10-19
UNCG Theatre will present “Stage Door,” a comedy about theatrical life, Feb. 10-19 in Taylor Theatre.
Set in New York City during the 1930s, “Stage Door” tells the ups and downs of a group of young actresses, all yearning for their big break. The actresses’ lives intersect at the Footlights Club, a boarding house for aspiring thespians run by an actress whose time in the spotlight has dimmed. The play’s rich storylines, penned by Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman, details the women’s experiences as they delve into their nontraditional career paths. Full Story »

UNCG senior urges dancers to ‘Nourish’ themselves
For endurance athletes, hamburgers, Skittles and chili cheese fries are the wrong fuel for peak performance.
But for many young dancers, often influenced more by the eating habits of their peers rather than what their bodies need for optimal energy, sugary snacks and fast food are regular parts of their diet.
UNCG senior Allyson West hopes to change that. A trained dancer and Greensboro native, West is studying to become a registered dietitian and has created the online newsletter “Nourish” full of nutritional wisdom on how dancers can fuel themselves for the rigors of performance. Full Story »
