In honor of N.C. State’s anniversary, the university hosted different speakers and scholars on spurring innovation in the workplace here in the Triangle area, and the role that N.C. State plays in spurring growth.
Recently, a controversy has broken out over the alleged mishandling of cases of reported rape and other sexual assault crimes on the campus of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Deondre’ Jones did a little research into this worrying problem.

Damaged City Fest
For those of you who have no idea about modern punk bands, there's an insane fest coming up that definitely destroys most punk shows I've seen popping up recently. Damaged City Fest is a huge fest taking place in DC (get it?) on April 12th and 13th at St. Stephen's Church. And coolest of all, Double Negative (Raleigh hardcore) is playing.
At the top of the poster is legendary hardcore punk band Negative Approach, whose song 'Ready To Fight' has been covered by literally half of the good bands I've seen in my life, if that says anything. Dropdead sits at the top as well - their plain-looking logo says nothing about how brutal the band is. Last time I saw Dropdead was in DC with Magrudergrind - they definitely play harder than most younger dudes.
Double Negative (Raleigh's own hardcore outfit) earns a top spot as well on the poster. Their psyched-out style of hardcore has earned them a much-deserved, worldwide reputation.
Prisoner Abuse, a band that has been receiving a lot of hype recently, is playing as well, featuring the vocalist from Think I Care. Other bands I'm definitely looking forward to are Sick Fix, Tenement, and Ilsa.
This fest is being put on by cool dudes for cool dudes, so if you're a cool dude, it would only make sense if you went and supported the Raleigh and DC scenes.

Raleigh Rock Camp for Girls to be held at Saint Mary's School!
Girls Rock North Carolina is a nonprofit organization focused on empowering girls and women to become confident and engaged members of their community through creative expression. The program uses music as a way to build community and self-esteem by centering around creativity, confidence, and collaboration. The organization's biggest program is Rock Camp for Girls. The camp is a one week summer event in which campers between the ages 9-16 are instructed in an instrument of their choice, form bands, and write original music with their peers. This year the event is the week of July 22nd at Saint Mary's School. Activities between band practices include attending workshops on songwriting, self defense, DIY, zine making, deejaying, body confidence, and more. During their time at camp, the girls are mentored by musicians, educators, and activists. The week concludes with a showcase at King's in downtown Raleigh on Friday, July 26th at 6:00 pm.
No musical background or instrument are necessary to participate! If you sign up your girls before March 1st, then the $10 registration fee is waived!
