The event invites academics, independent researchers, students, teachers, and experts in public and civic education to submit five-minute presentations by November 20.

Each 'Diamond Presentation' will be followed by a discussion, culminating in a Conclusory Roundtable for final brainstorming.

UNC Greensboro Graduate Counseling Program Ranks No. 1 in North Carolina, No. 4 Nationally by U.S. News World Report

The University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG) Department of Counseling and Educational Development (CED) has been ranked No. 4 nationally and No. 1 in North Carolina in the Student Counseling specialty area by U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) in its 2026 graduate school rankings. This achievement extends the department's more than 30-year streak of being recognized among the nation's top 15 programs. Department Chair Kelly Wester, Ph.D., attributes this consistent success to the program's immersive, full-time training model, extensive hands-on clinical experience, and the faculty's dedication to preparing students for the evolving demands of the counseling profession. The rankings are based on assessments from academic experts, statistical measures of academic performance, and graduates' post-degree outcomes.

Can Coffee Bubbles Predict the Weather?

Can Coffee Bubbles Predict the Weather?

A popular weather myth suggests that the bubbles in a freshly poured cup of coffee can predict upcoming weather conditions. According to the folklore, bubbles that gather in the center of the cup indicate high pressure and fair weather, while bubbles that drift to the edges suggest low pressure and unsettled weather. However, experts caution that this method is not scientifically reliable. Factors such as the shape of the mug, the type of coffee, and even the creamer used can influence the behavior of the bubbles, making this an interesting but inaccurate way to forecast the weather. Meteorologists rely on precise instruments and advanced models to predict weather patterns, which are far more dependable than coffee cup observations.
