REPORTING TIP: Explain "rural." “I think there’s an underappreciation of the nuance of ‘rural,’ in that rural North Carolina is very different from rural Wyoming, and we tend to lump them all together,” said Mark Holmes of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill UNC Public Health. bit.ly/2HAFodk

The Happening on the Common today was so fun! Did you know that #Tarboro has one of the two original chartered town commons in the US?

Our education-themed dinner this week with local middle school principal Lauren Lampron included personal stories from TFA teachers and retired principals alike. ECPS employees are true hometown heroes 🤩👩🏻‍🏫👨🏾‍🏫🍎

Some of our interns + an internship supervisor got to have lunch at On the Square today with a special visitor: Dr. Vicki Stocking of Robertson Scholars—one of our key partners!

ENCIP intern (and Freedom School teacher) Naira Ikram is loved by her students! 🥰 Hard to believe Freedom School is more than halfway over!

What a great evening! Big shoutout to our intern Olivia for organizing!

Five of our interns are Robertson Scholars, selected through a long-standing partnership that helped ENCIP move from being an idea to a reality. This year’s Robertson Scholars are sharing their experiences on Instagram—check it out!
