Tickets for the inaugural event in our Newsmakers Series featuring UNC System President Peter Hans are now available!

The event is limited to just 125 attendees, so premium Assembly subscribers should make sure to reserve their spot (for free!) as soon as possible. Others who are interested in attending the event may join the waitlist or upgrade to premium to get access. Come spend your evening with us at the Jiddi Courtyard in Raleigh on July 16!

In the meantime, The Quad will be taking its own little summer break during The Assembly’s two-week publishing pause. I’m heading home to Wisconsin to see family and friends; Emily is visiting D.C.; and Matt is on vacation with his family in Germany.

If there’s breaking news (knock on wood!), we’ll still make sure you get our latest stories. Otherwise, we’ll be back in your inboxes on July 17. Try not to miss us too much! 😉
