Pomp and Bling-cumstance
May is a busy month at the Greensboro Coliseum, what with local colleges and universities hosting commencement exercises there.
The ceremonies, in addition to being fun for the whole family, also are profitable. It also shows the subtle impact that higher education has on our city:
A&T: $13,964
UNCG: $8,663
UNCG School of Business and Economics: $3,789
GTCC: $8,130
Bennett College: $3,505
Total: $38,051
Speaking of the coliseum and its finances, we requested today a copy of the year-end numbers, which we hope to report to you ASAP.
