Charles Richardson+FollowMax Strus’ Camp: Full-Circle FeelsMax Strus just brought his annual basketball camp back to his old high school, and it’s not just about hoops. Over 400 kids got to hang with the Cavs guard, but the real MVP move? Max has donated over $100K to help families battling cancer and started his own foundation supporting youth sports and mental health. The hometown love is real—plus, Lonzo Ball jerseys are everywhere. This is what giving back looks like! #Education #MaxStrus #GiveBack00Share

The University of Cincinnati just scored a $2.6 million grant to dig into diabetic cardiomyopathy—a sneaky, deadly heart issue tied to sugar overload in heart cells. Dr. Drosatos and his team are on a four-year mission to figure out how sugar and fat damage the heart, and hopefully find new ways to stop it before it leads to heart failure. Huge news for diabetes research! #Education #College #DiabetesAwareness00Share

Charles Richardson+FollowCharlotte Med School’s Diversity MysteryCharlotte’s shiny new med school promised to be super diverse, but now that classes have started, they’re keeping quiet about the actual numbers. Even local officials are asking, but the school won’t share the racial or ethnic breakdown of its first class. With $75 million in public money invested, people want answers—especially since diversity in medicine literally saves lives. Is this just nerves after the Supreme Court’s ruling on race-conscious admissions, or is something else up? #Education #CharlotteNC #MedSchool00Share
