Celebration Time

Even the Belltower looked brighter as NC State kicked off its yearlong 125th birthday celebration with a trio of special events.

On Monday (March 5), Wolfpack pride and Watauga medals gleamed during the Founders Day Dinner, which featured the premiere of a new NC State 125th birthday video.

Cheers, friendly competition and an upbeat rendition of  “We Are Family” on the karaoke stage set the tone for a 125th-themed Employee Appreciation Day on Tuesday (March 6). Browse the photo gallery below to see if you and your friends are featured.

“This is the first of many birthday parties to come for NC State,” Chancellor Randy Woodson told faculty and staff before cutting slices from a large birthday cake. “Thank you for all that you do.”

On Wednesday, a bright 125th home page brightened with a new logo and expanded content made its debut on university’s official anniversary date.
