Chasing the Whirlwind

NC State researchers will spend part of their summer finding out what makes tornadoes tick. Dr. Matthew Parker, associate professor of marine, earth and atmospheric sciences, and a team of NC State graduate students will be in Tornado Alley from May 10 to June 13 as part of the VORTEX2 project – the largest and most ambitious effort ever made to understand tornadoes.

Ready for Work

Last fall, the leaves hadn’t even begun to change colors on trees across campus, but Aria Behrouzi already had a job offer in hand from a national, high-profile manufacturing company. The U.S. economy took a nosedive shortly after, and the offer vanished. Hard work, a bit of creative thinking and guidance from a group of NC State career service specialists help get Behrouzi back on track and into an exciting new position, just in time for Saturday's graduation.

Growing a Tradition

On any given day, it seems there's something exciting going on at NC State's Brickyard. Earth Day – April 22 – proved to be no different, as the landmark was the site for what student organizers hope will become a weekly series of Farmer's Market events – sales that will bring a variety of North Carolina-grown foods and products to students, faculty and staff members headed through Central Campus.
