About ROI

ROI strives to end generational cycles of trauma and poverty by preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress for the community in rural Eastern North Carolina.

Podcasts to kick off the week from EdNC’s Alli Lindenberg:

The Hummingbird Stories – ‘Chance isn’t good enough’ featuring Donnell Cannon and Jenny O’Meara

It’s the season finale! Instead of hosting, Jenny and Donnell are the interviewees in this episode. Kemylah Shaw, who is one of Jenny and Donnell’s students, co-hosts this episode alongside podcast producer Alli Lindenberg. The conversation is centered around the principals’ reasons for fighting for education and, of course, their hummingbird stories.

Banking on a raise — Will this be the year community colleges see an increase in pay?

North Carolina’s community colleges have a proud legacy of making postsecondary education accessible across our state. Their impact, however, is dependent on the work of dedicated employees — employees who are paid significantly less than their national and regional counterparts. Employees who haven’t seen a significant pay increase in years. This year, they are once again asking the state for a raise for employees. In this special episode, you’ll hear from community college presidents and faculty about what a raise would mean for them and the impact employee pay can have on a college’s success.
