Here are the top three stories today in Gainesville:

1. Martha Zoller, a local talk show host on WDUN in Gainesville was a guest speaker at the TALKERS 2023 gathering in Hempstead, NY. The 26th national conference of the broadcasting field was held at Hofstra University on Jun. 2 and was attended by more than 250 broadcasters and 60 students. Zoller was also recently awarded the title - Woman of the Year. (TALKERS magazine)
2. A brand new restaurant and tap room is set to open in Gainesville this fall! Bru Foundry, an 8,000-square-foot facility will be located at the New Holland Market. Once open, patrons will be able to enjoy 80 beers on tap. (What Now Atlanta)
3. The University of North Georgia (UNG) in nearby Dahlonega has successfully launched its first cohort for the accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) track in partnership with the Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS). The program, designed for individuals with a bachelor's or master's degree in another field, allows students to complete their nursing degree in just 15 months and enter the nursing field quickly. With a 98 percent success rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) and a 100 percent job placement rate, UNG's ABSN program offers an ideal path for career changers in response to the nursing shortage and provides valuable clinical experience through the partnership with NGHS.
