Think about taking classes in Digital Marketing, International Marketing, talking about and imagining the future. How about Artificial Intelligence? Did you know it is here and coming to our world even more, every day?

How about one of your college classes going to Europe for a few weeks, for learning and bonding with other students while meeting people in other countries...say, Spain or France?

Such is the academic world of Patrice Nealon, a Senior Lecturer in Marketing at N.C. State as she leads her students into the world of the future with such phrases as "just imagine" or "what if".

In this podcast, you have the opportunity to see and listen to Patrice and perhaps learn a bit of what the future holds for all us.

You will not want to miss this one!

For over two weeks, a small several weeks old, gray kitten lived alone in a parking garage in the apartment complex where I live.

Residents fed him and tried to catch him. Two wanted to adopt him. But no luck...nothing, as he would scamper away to underneath cars where he spent most of his days and nights.

Finally, on Saturday afternoon on the weekend after July 4, success! Named after the parking garage where he had lived, for who knows how long, Parker was saved.

There are so many Parker stories all over the world. Some are saved, others are not. This is the story of one who was lucky enough to find a forever home with a new Mom.
