2024 Chancellor’s Fall Address
As he prepares to retire, Chancellor Randy Woodson will deliver his final "state of NC State" speech on Wednesday, Oct. 30 in Talley Student Union.
In July, Chancellor Randy Woodson announced his intention to retire after 14 years at the helm of NC State. This year’s fall address, delivered to the campus community from the atrium of Talley Student Union, will be his last.
On Oct. 30, Woodson is expected to recap the highlights from another year at NC State — including student and faculty accolades, research and partnership success, athletics triumphs and the university’s highest-ever position in the annual U.S. News & World Report rankings. The speech will also celebrate the growth and transformation Woodson has witnessed across campus since he first came to NC State in April 2010.
- Date and time: Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 1:30 p.m.
- Location: Talley Student Union atrium
- How to watch: All are welcome to attend or stream the speech online
In the wake of Woodson’s retirement announcement, the NC State community has poured out well-wishes and thank-you messages for the chancellor and his wife, Susan. This year’s address is likely to touch on Woodson’s own thoughts about his time on campus — and what leading the Wolfpack has meant to him.
