University of North Georgia

There are several replicas of the tapestry in the United States, including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington.

The University of North Georgia has the only complete replica in the U.S., It goes on display at the University's campus on Saturday.

If you're not near one, find the relic at your local museum or historical society at newyorktimes.com-arts.

Wash your pillows.

An astute point.

Surely some of the goo would have fallen back down to Earth long before it reached the clouds, and considering the bombing took place 30 to 50 miles offshore, accounts vary, why did the stuff only fall in Oakville? A piece on IFLScience from 2024 reported, quote, "According to Associate Professor Paul Johnson at the University of North Georgia, it is plausible that something the size of parts of jellyfish could be pulled into the atmosphere and redeposited during a storm.

But if there were really up to six events over three weeks, it's less likely that those particles would be in the air for so long." End quote.

To be clear, I only read of two blob raining events, not six.

So what was your inspiration here to get started with everything? What kind of led you down this path?

Well, I graduated from the University of North Georgia with my BBA in information systems and started into corporate technology.

I worked in SaaS for years, and prior to me going into the corporate realm, I worked in hospitality companies.

And in hospitality, the whole idea is making sure that people are happy, right? Helping other people achieve this experience that you want them to be able to have at either your restaurant, hotel, whatever it may be.

Okay, so is she going to go to Georgia? I know you went and visited.

We visited UGA, but I think she's going to go to UNG, University of North Georgia.

Okay.

And then she's going to portal into UGA after either year one or year two.

We love colleges and universities and all the great work and research and preparing the future leaders of the poultry industry.

We're all excited about that as much as the schools are, I think, and here in our area of the world here in north georgia here at the university of north georgia they've got a lot of exciting things going on and we have dr linda purvis with us here today and linda tell us a little about yourself and what you do at ung

yeah well thank you guys for having me i'm super excited to share about the things we have going on my name is dr linda purvis i'm an associate professor at the university of north georgia's gainesville campus And I have been there since 2008.

However, I have specifically been focused on our poultry program on the Gainesville campus since 2011.

So for the last 15 years, working to build that program up and kind of raise awareness about that program.

So we're really excited about that.

And the thing that's really unique about our program is it is a two-year associate degree program, and students can go right into the workforce from that.

So there's a lot of job opportunities with just a two-year degree, or they can stay and get a bachelor's in a couple of different options at the University of North Georgia program.

The only ones on this list that I would have named if I didn't see the list would be Citadel and A&M.

I was unaware of the University of North Georgia and obviously Virginia Tech being a senior military college as well.

VMI.

And there's one more.
