Meet Chancellor-Elect Randy Woodson

NC State is preparing for the spring arrival of its 14th chancellor, William R. “Randy” Woodson, with a Feb. 17 reception at 4:30 p.m. in Reynolds Coliseum. All alumni and friends are invited. This is a great opportunity to meet Woodson and welcome him, along with his wife, Susan (photo below), into the NC State family. No RSVP is required.

We’ve been collecting links to information and articles about Woodson since the UNC System Board of Governors approved his appointment as chancellor on Jan. 8. Watch for a feature article in the spring issue of NC State magazine.

Responding to disaster in Haiti

The NC State community is stepping up to ease suffering in Haiti. A few examples:

Communication alumnus and Wine to Water founder Doc Hendley ‘04 is in Haiti working to provide new sources of clean water and Tweeting about the experience.

Computer Science alumnus Michael Maximilien ‘02 MS, ‘05 PhD has developed the Haiti Quake People Finder, a Facebook application for tracking and sharing information about people who were in Haiti when the Jan. 12 earthquake hit.

Animal science professor Charlotte Farin has worked four years with a Haitian farm to provide high-quality protein for local school lunches. She learned this week that the farm has been designated as an aid distribution site for families in one of the poorest and hardest-hit areas.

NC State students are collecting money for disaster relief through their HOWL for Haiti campaign.
