Pat - Administrative Assistant
Hello. My name is Pat Dlug and I am the Adm. Assistant at NASS. I joined the staff in January of 2000, and I have enjoyed working in support of this great group of people! During the time I've been here I've learned a great deal of the Native American culture through the various programs our center presents. I encourage everyone to attend our programs as the house shares its culture with you through food, sports, and cultural presentations. I live in Johnstown (a "growing metropolis" of 4800, and one traffic light, located southwest of Greeley ) with my cat, "Sam." My son and daughter are grown, and each has a 3-year-old child. I am enjoying the honor of being a grandma, having a granddaughter and grandson both! I sincerely look forward to seeing you at the Kohl house to take part in these wonderful events!

Anthony is a sophomore, theater studies major, who is very excited to join the Native American Student Services. Ha hopes one day to be a music teacher at the high school or collegiate level. Hobbies include singing in Prima Voce at UNC, hiking & camping as Assistant Scout Master to Boy Scouts of America, Troop 69 of Denver, and Anthony is a self proclaimed Gleek (hoping one day to guest or appear on the show "Glee"). Many thanks go out to Solomon and the rest of the NASS staff for giving me this opportunity to grow even more with UNC Bear Pride!
