There is still debate as to whether the UNC system should expand to Rocky Mount. To think that N.C. Wesleyan College, the proposed site for the Rocky Mount expansion, is prepared for a UNC system designation seems quite the stretch.

The Center’s new director, Jane Shaw, recently spoke with EdNews about the Pope Center’s recent expansion and about current and future higher education concerns.
