At any large and multi-faceted university, many opportunties present themselves for recognition of faculty and students. While their recognition is well-deserved, there is another group equally deserving of acclaim. Here at NC State, we know that staff are the engine that makes this place run. They bring a wealth of knowledge, enthusiam, loyalty and passion to work with them everyday. And when they do, we all benefit.
Every year, the university recognizes staff for their years of service to the State of North Carolina. Special recognition is given to those with 20 or more years of service. 2009 recipients were honored with a reception at Talley Student Center.
Recognized for their Years of Service: 
Front row (L to R) – 20 Years Debbie Hurst, Parks, Recreation & Tourism Mgmt and Patti Woodbury, Wood Products Extension
Back row (L to R)- 20 Years – Linda McMurray, Jim McMurray; 25 years – Tony LaPasha
All of Wood & Paper Science
Every few months, the College of Natural Resources recognizes outstanding staff with the Pride of the Wolfpack award. Because the winners are selected from nominations received throughout the year from faculty, staff and students, the Pride of the Wolfpack award means a great deal to the awardees. There is nothing like being appreciated by the people one encounters in the workplace everyday! Each winner receives a certificate and is honored at a college reception.
