University Communications has released the third season of its “Follow Me” video series, featuring four students who give viewers a peek into their daily lives at UNC Greensboro.
This most recent season stars students with nursing, political science, music education, and biology majors. All four are living full lives on campus with personal passions, academic drive, and a penchant for service to others. Find out how they are using their time on the UNCG campus to prepare for careers that will uplift their future communities.
