the Atlantic World. The University encourages and rewards
community-engaged research and teaching. Greensboro, a city of over
250,000 regularly ranked highly in national surveys of livability,

variety of cultural institutions, many of which are partners with the
public history program, including the new International Civil Rights
Center and Museum.
UNCG is proud of the diversity of its student body, and we seek to
attract an equally diverse applicant pool for this position, including
women and members of minority groups. We are an EEO/AA employer with
