As part of the transparency of our organization, each year, we post our annual report online. The annual report is one of several reports we are required to produce each year. It is submitted to the director of the Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service. He submits it to the associate vice chancellor. She combines it with her other reports and submits it to the vice chancellor. He combines it with his other reports and submits it to the provost. He combines it with his other reports and submits it to the chancellor. Officially, it becomes the administrative record of the year.

This year’s report shows some of the highlights of the year and identifies some areas for concern particularly in terms of finances, notably administrative service fees and the increased cost of benefits for the full-time staff, and space allocation.

No other student group on campus has the demands placed upon it that the students have who produce the daily newspaper, keep a radio station on the air 24/7, produce the final draft of history, produce a weekly publication that maintains a discussion about the news from an African-American perspective, and shows the creative side of our campus. Our online presence and video presence continue to be areas of focus and growth.

Chris Hondros at N.C. State last spring. Photos by Tim O’Brien.

The Associated Press and Agence France-Presse April 10 reported that Chris Hondros, a 1993 graduate of N.C. State with a BA in English, was killed in Libya on assignment for Getty Images. Later in the day, Getty Images confirmed that Hondros had been shot and killed. Tim Hetherington a photographer also working in the area was killed.

Many alumni and friends have asked how to contribute in memory of photographer Hondros, a former photographer for both Technician and the Agromeck.

If you, or someone you know, would like to make a donation to N.C. State in Chris’ memory, we are working with University officials and the family to set up an endowment in his name. We can begin collecting donations now that will go into a holding account. After we raise $25,000, we can create scholarships or other opportunities in Chris’ name, depending on the wishes of the family. In the unlikely event that we do not raise $25,000, we can still use the money for programmatic needs such as a speaker series like the University Scholars series that has that brought Chris to campus twice in the last two years.

Such donations are fully tax-deductible.

Anyone who would like to make a donation to
