<h2>About RTP180</h2><p>Innovation. Education. Industry. These are powerful angles—and what Research Triangle Park is known for. At RTP180, speakers from our founding Universities, Park companies and the North Carolina community at-large, are called upon to speak passionately and authentically about what matters to them. The twist? They must do it in 5 minutes or less! </p><p>We ask our speakers to be intentional with their 300 seconds on stage. What perspective of their industry are they able to share? What are their passions? What would our community be surprised to learn? What case studies in North Carolina are cutting edge? </p><h2>This Month</h2><p>This month we are bringing in the experts to present their unique take on NC Community. Our speakers will share new research that builds on our understanding of the world, it’s people and the interactions we have. Join us to learn about various aspects of mental health, placemaking, academic success, historic sites and more!</p><p>Prior to the start of the show, join us at 5:00 p.m. for refreshments and networking. </p><p>When you come early, we will have complimentary popcorn, beer from <a href="https://www.fullsteam.ag/visit/boxyard" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fullsteam RTP</a>, wine selections from <a href="https://boxyard.rtp.org/vendors/rtp-uncorked/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RTP Uncorked</a>, and spirit-free drinks.</p><h2>Our Experts</h2><p>Angela Mason | <a href="https://www.paulimurraycenter.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice</a></p><p>Amy Blank Wilson | <a href="https://www.sarahglova.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://ssw.unc.edu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill</a></p><p>Liz Parham | <a href="https://www.commerce.nc.gov/about-us/divisions-programs/rural-economic-development-division/nc-main-street-rural-planning-center" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NC Main Street Center at the NC Department of Commerce</a></p><p>Michelle Price | <a href="https://studentudurham.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Student U</a></p><p>Kristine L.
