On Thursday, April 25th Dr. Paulette Dillard will be officially inaugurated as the 18th President of Shaw University, even though she's been leading the school in that role for over a year.
We spoke to Dr. Dillard about what led her to a career in science and academia, and what brought her to Raleigh specifically. We also discussed Shaw's future and how it is linked with the growth and change in downtown Raleigh. We also had to ask how she landed Peabo Bryson at her inauguration festivities!
Also, Ashton and Hayes share their #Top3Raleigh places to eat/drink outside, and talk mayoral candidates, A Place at the Table expanding, the Hurricanes in the playoffs and MLB Raleigh.
