Posted Dec 18, 2008
Not only will UNC forward Tyler Hansbrough’s mom be in town for his potentially record-breaking performance Thursday night — she’s in town for good. Tami Hansbrough began a new job as the Associate Director of Development at the UNC School of Dentistry on Dec. 8. She is a fundraiser specializing in major gifts and will supervise an annual fund program; the school did not mention her All-American son in the news release announcing her hiring.
