Follow Kellie Harper during her first season as the women’s basketball coach at NC State.

Coach Harper is letting us into her practices, team functions —even her home—for an article in the spring issue of NC State. But along the way, redandwhiteforlife.com (search “A Coach’s First Season”) is posting stories, photos, videos and Q&As. Over time, you’ll get a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the program and you’ll get to know Harper and her team.

If you’ve got your own question for Coach Harper, pass it along to us through redandwhiteforlife.com.

Homecoming 2009: Terminate The Terps

NC State students have found plenty of ways to get into the Homecoming spirit this week—food drive, blood drive. Cookie, banner and fan contests. Paint the town red—the tunnel too. Wear red, get fed.

Now it’s your turn.

Visit www.alumni.ncsu.edu/homecoming for details about Homecoming 2009 and our online gallery for photos. Also, take a few minutes to check out the Homecoming coverage at www.ncsu.edu.

A CNN Hero Returns To Campus For Homecoming

We’ve been following Doc Hendley ‘04, an “everyday” CNN Hero who went from tending bar in Raleigh to founding Wine to Water, a Boone-based nonprofit that brings drinking water and sanitation systems to needy communities across the globe. Hendley was back on campus this week to address a packed house at Talley Student Center as our featured Homecoming speaker; a CNN crew was here too to tape a Brickyard rally supporting his nomination as CNN Hero of the Year. Visit redandwhiteforlife.com to read Hendley’s story (search “Doc Hendley”). While you’re there, you can vote for him as CNN Hero of the Year.
