Matthew Johnson Sports Editor Finally, fall has arrived! Yes, we have finally broken away from the ridiculous and insufferable heat of North Carolina summers as the chill of September has finally rolled in and hit the state.

Daniel Johnson Staff Writer Unlike most students, who spent much of Friday inside to get away from the rain and the wind of a cool September day, the UNC-Greensboro Women’s Soccer team had different plans as it defeated Western Carolina 2-0.

Boehner cited the turmoil as one … Continue reading Goodbye Boehner
Molly Ashline Staff Writer By 6:30 p.m., the place was nearly a ghost town. Bandito Burrito sat under a covered entrance with no customers, and inside, workers took white cloths off of tables and tied up several large bags of multi-colored trash. All of that followed the Taste of Greensboro at Heritage Greens last Thursday. It featured food from the Bandito Burrito food truck, … Continue reading Taste of Greensboro

Sophia Lucente Staff Writer This Friday Oct. 2, UNCG’s WUAG 103.1 FM will be joining broadcasting forces across the nation in celebrating the 5th annual College Radio Day.
