This past year at North Carolina State University was one of the most exciting in our history. We celebrated the completion of a $1 billion capital campaign that is fueling the creation of new labs and classrooms and underwriting important research in clean energy, educational innovation, science and technology, and health and nutrition. |

With all the festivities going on at the White House, it's no surprise that Carolinians are right in the middle of the action. This year's Christmas tree, an 18-1/2 foot tall Fraser fir, comes from Jessie Davis and Russell Estes of River Ridge Tree Farms in Crumpler, N.C. And one of the 369 patriotic-themed ornaments hanging on the stately pine was created right here at NC State, by professor Charles Joyner and graduate student Precious Lovell in the College of Design. |
