Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we near the end of another very successful spring semester and prepare to graduate yet another large graduating class, I am excited to share with you some of our recent activities, honors and upcoming events. I am proud of our Think and Do staff and faculty and the many ways each day they support our number one strategic goal: student success. As you likely know, we are in the middle of Think and Do the Extraordinary<\/a>, the Campaign for NC State. With a goal to raise $1.6 billion for scholarships, research, programs and facilities, this is the boldest effort of its kind in NC State’s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wilson College of Textiles is making major progress towards our goal, and I thank everyone who has supported – and continues to support – the campaign. As Chancellor Woodson states, with state support we are great university, with private support we can be an extraordinary university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this newsletter<\/a>, you\u2019ll read about many activities and honors that would not be possible without substantial private support. This includes endowed professorships like the Ciba Professor of Textile Chemistry; Dr. Renzo Shamey<\/a> was just named the second individual to hold this position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, our graduate students are increasingly benefiting from philanthropy. Through the generous gift from the Osborne Foundation, we have been able to provide graduate assistantship<\/a> support for a number of our talented graduate students. Our highly successful Summer Textile Exploration Program<\/a> that attracts so many high-quality students into our College and NC State recently received generous support from our industry partner, VF Corporation<\/a> through their philanthropic foundation. Also sponsored by VF is this year’s Research Open House<\/a>, organized by our Textile Association of Graduate Students leadership. We are grateful to VF, the North Carolina Textile Foundation<\/a> and all of our industry partners. Together we are helping advance the textiles, apparel and related industries in North Carolina and the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope you enjoy reading our news and look forward to sharing more of our accomplishments in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n David Hinks, Ph.D. By Susan Fandel<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we near the end of another very successful spring semester and prepare to graduate yet another large graduating class, I am excited to share with you some of our recent activities, honors and upcoming events.
