Congratulations to Mike Giancola for some well-deserved recognition. The News & Observer featured him as its Tar Heel of the Week on Sunday. Giancola is the director of NC State’s Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service (CSLEPS), which helps students do some really meaningful work here and abroad and, in the process, grow as people:
Students who have never flown on an airliner find themselves in places such as post-Katrina New Orleans, Ecuador, Ghana, Nicaragua and Sri Lanka, building houses, improving water systems or working in a free clinic, while navigating a new culture.
Whatever help the students lend to their host country isn’t the main point. It’s to engage their minds and hearts with the broader world, says Giancola, 37.
“I tell students my job is to infect them and make them sick,” he says. “They say ‘What does that mean?’ and I reply ‘I’m going to make you sick with some realities of the world. It’s not for me to tell you what to do about them, but you’ll be called based on whatever force that drives you to do something about it.’”

Shack-a-thon kicked off on the Brickyard yesterday. Technician has the story, and News 14 has a short video about the fundraiser, which benefits Habitat for Humanity. The Caldwell Fellows Programs, a scholarship and leadership initiative the Alumni Association sponsors, has a shack there, and Caldwell Fellow Jeffrey Huber, a junior majoring in industrial engineering and economics, checked in after the first night:
The Brickyard. This vast expanse normally reserved for passing library patrons cramming for tomorrow’s test is a veritable village. Those of us not pre-occupied with people-watching try to squeeze in some homework. Laptop screens light the faces of most thanks to wireless, but a few just shoot the breeze. I put on some good music, lean back in a white plastic chair and try to do a little of everything while enjoying the cool night air.
Shack-a-thon is always a fun part of the year. It is one of the foremost traditions of NC State. To me it is more than anything else, a time of community, seeing old friends and making new ones. Last year a very competitive game of four-square popped up. Not-so-competitive corn-hole seems like the favorite this year. (more…)

A few weeks ago, we posted video from the 40th anniversary celebration of Grains of Time, NC State’s student a cappella group. We pulled the short film from WolfTV, which is the university’s student-run television station. We thought we’d post a few of our favorite clips from the station. The above video gives you a sampling of the costumes runners wore in the Krispy Kreme Challenge. The other four videos are after the jump. (more…)
