Letter From The Editor: New Beginnings All Around

Hey guys, We’ve had a pretty incredible start to the year, with the first total solar eclipse to cross the United States in 99 years gracing our campus. That isn’t the only thing returning to State, though. After closing in 2013, the Gregg Museum is opening back up in a new location with a whole…

Hey family, I hope the semester is treating you well. As you already know, this month is Black History Month. I won’t go on a rant about the necessity of this month because I shouldn’t have to. However, I will encourage you to be mindful that Black History Month is for ALL black people. Oftentimes…

Hey family, Happy 2017! I hope that your return to campus and the new year has you feeling as rejuvenated as the Nubian staff is. Recently our President-elect has made it a point to attack credible news organizations and deem them “fake news.” In a time where fake news is a hot topic, I can…

Happy Holidays family! If you’re anything like me the best part of winter break is not having to worry about school work. But for many, winter break brings the joy of the holidays. While many assume that I am just speaking about Christmas, that couldn’t be further from the truth. There are so many different…

The websites listed on the flyer used derogatory language to describe black, Muslim and Jewish people.

Hey fam, I hope your homecoming week was phenomenal. One of the focal points of the week was the homecoming concert. It was headlined by Clifford Harris, affectionately known as T.I. I have to admit, I was surprised that he was chosen to headline, especially since his most recent performances have really exhibited his zest…

Farewell Jillian, Welcome Stephanie

Wow fam, Time flies. I can’t believe it’s really the end of the semester and the end of my time at NC State. As I reflect on the past few years, I only have one regret: that I didn’t join the Nubian sooner. Wednesday night’s in that office became my favorite place on campus. I hope…
