Lemar's Here!

Hello Everyone:

My name is Lemar, and I'm a Junior student here at UNC Asheville. I'm originally from the Greenbrier Valley area of West Virginia where I lived for 14 years, then we made a drastic move to the Northern Virginia/DC Area where I lived for 5 years. We moved to North Carolina in 2005 where I completed my senior year at Mooresville Senior High School, and then proceeded to UNC Asheville.

I orginally came to UNC Asheville planning to major in French with Licensure, then I added Spanish to that mix. I took 4 levels of Spanish and decided I wanted to switch to a Management Program. So now I'm majoring in French w/Licensure and Management w/Business Administration Concentration. Seeing that I changed my major to management my junior year (a 60 credit hour major), most of you will graduate before I will. :-)

I consider myself involved: I am apart of the N.U.E. Noiz Step Team, Black Student Association, Hillel, and a URJ/Kesher College Reform Jewish Liaison for UNC Asheville. I also work on campus as an RA in the residence halls (please don't call them dorms), and I am a Residential Senator in the Student Government Association. Additionally, I am a Teacher Recruitement Representative, and I work part time at Starbucks Coffee outside of DT Asheville.

I enjoy most comedy movies, playing video games on my Wii and PS3 (Favorite Video Game Series: Mortal Kombat), and generally just hanging out. Like Julie, I own Apple products including an iPhone and a Black MacBook (aka BlackBook).

I'm happy I have the opportunity to work with such a committed, caring professional and paraprofessional staff here in Teacher Recruitement, and I'm excited to get to meet students and talk to them about education and licensure.

I. Lemar Newsome
