Here's a link to the running list of outreach opportunities I've compiled: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13FZscG8opUlZpHh3A2_Tz0MdQ9R5IzNw8LCyBv7edr4/edit?usp=sharing

2 requests for this work in progress:

• Include a column with the County name for each location
• "beat the bushes" for more events / opportunities that are closer - 1.5 or less hours travel from main campus or Kannapolis campus

I've updated the spreadsheet with a new column that contains County names for each outreach location in North and South Carolina. I've also fleshed out all of the possible universities/colleges/community colleges in NC (and some from SC, as well) with some sort of biology/genetics programs that we could attempt to collaborate with. I then divided this extensive list into two tabs: one with outreach opportunities 1.5 or less hours travel from the UNC Charlotte main campus, and another with outreach opportunities that would require more travel.

The team reviewed the spreadsheet during scrum today and agreed that it was complete. I copied the link to the spreadsheet into the description of the Publish Our Work epic and am now marking this as complete.
