'Living his purpose through coaching': Jackie Manuel begins new chapter in UNC career

Posted Sep 23, 2020

Having a new job closer to his wife, who works at UNC’s College of Arts & Sciences, means he gets to spend more time with his family while pursuing his passion for coaching in a place he considers home.
