Mo Green to share insights at UMO’s Braswell Lecture

MOUNT OLIVE — North Carolina’s State Superintendent of Public Instruction Maurice “Mo” Green, will take the stage at the University of Mount Olive for the 28th annual Braswell Lecture on Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. in the Southern Bank Auditorium.

The lecture series brings together educators, students, and community members to explore current issues in education and the impact schools have on their communities. Each year, a guest speaker shares their perspective on teaching, leadership, and educational policy.

The announcement made by UMO earlier this month, highlights Green’s contributions and the notable experience that he will bring to the discussion with more than two decades serving in North Carolina education. He has served as superintendent and deputy superintendent in some of the state’s largest districts, led a major education foundation, and worked as a school board attorney. A double graduate of Duke University, he holds degrees in political science, economics, and law, blending academic knowledge with practical leadership in public education.
