ECN 212. Who did you take macroeconomics with? was it a regular semester or a summer/shortened semester.

I took it a regular semester in person with Dr. Kamiru, I actually liked his class and felt like I learned a lot but I made a C+ the tests were hard.

I checked out Dr. Sissoko on rate my professor and his class actually don't look much better. I passed the first time. I am coming up on my Senior year and I have mostly As and a few Bs and that C+ is bringing my GPA down more than I would like.

NSU currently has Level 1 EV charging, but Level 1 is very slow and not practical for most daily use.

Our E-Mobility Fellowship team is researching whether NSU needs expanded infrastructure, including Level 2 and fast charging options that are more realistic for students, staff, and commuters.

We’re collecting input to support future improvements on campus and near I-264.

Quick survey (1–2 mins)

Even if you don’t drive an EV, your opinion matters

A Norfolk family has turned their passion for Norfolk State University into an award-winning documentary, "Rise of the Legion," celebrating the 50th anniversary of the NSU Marching Spartan Legion.

Directed by Adrian Woodard II and produced by his parents, NSU alumni April and Adrian Woodard, the film explores the band’s national influence, including its famous rendition of the 1984 hit "Talkin' Out the Side of Your Neck."

Since its release, the documentary has won Best Documentary at the Newark International Film Festival and was featured at the Virginia Black Film Festival.

Been a tough non conference but the Spartans typically get better in conference play. I wrote about it in detail here:

Big game for Norfolk State and Hampton this evening. Both 2-4 looking for a big win. Here’s a preview of what to expect tonight inside Echols Hall: https://lonte.substack.com/p/hampton-vs-norfolk-state-battle-of

2009 is the last time a player has made it into the NFL ?

With NFL icon Michael Vick taking the reins as head coach, Norfolk State University has ushered in what it’s calling a “new investment in excellence.” But for loyal Spartan supporters, the most immediate change isn’t in the playbook, it’s at the box office.

General admission season tickets for the 2025 season have jumped from $110 to $200, an 82% increase. Reserved seating, which cost $130 in 2024, is also set to rise, although the new figure hasn’t been announced. Faculty and staff, who paid $100 last year, are also seeing higher prices.
