[snca-list] New New South Lecture: Communities in Transition

[Genya O'Gara]

Please join us on April 15 at 4:00 in the DH Hill Library in Raleigh for 
the last of this year’s New New South lectures as Dr. Michael Walden 
examines how tobacco, furniture, and traditional textiles have given way 
to technology, finance pharmaceuticals and other industries that prize a 
skilled, college-educated work force as their most important commodity.

The New New South series has been co-sponsored by the NCSU Libraries and 
the North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) to give participants an 
opportunity to hear from leading scholars in North Carolina on both the 
move into the information economy and the previous economic shifts that 
have shaped the area.

The talks are free and open to the public.

Topics, speakers and details are located at
