A Message From the Golden Grads Forever Club President

Greetings, Fellow Golden Grads!

As spring 2025 wraps up, we’re grateful for another successful year together. Since our last update, we enjoyed a wonderful visit to Shelton Vineyards in western North Carolina, where we sampled NC State wine and shared great company. Our tour of the Wendell H. Murphy Football Center offered great insight into the lives of our dedicated student-athletes. 

The highlight of the year was our Annual Reunion at the Park Alumni Center, where we welcomed the class of 1975. “Classes Without Quizzes” on AI and the history of music at NC State (1965–1975) were both engaging and informative. Tours of Hunt Library, the Plant Sciences Building, the Bell Tower and campus brought back many fond memories. A number of us also attended the graduation ceremony, where Chancellor Randy Woodson recognized the Golden Grads Forever Club. 

This meaningful moment was part of a larger transition for the university, as we thank Chancellor Woodson for his years of leadership and warmly welcome Chancellor Kevin Howell as he steps into this important role. We look forward to the new chapter ahead under his guidance and vision.

We have more exciting things ahead, so stay tuned for updates on our fall tours and Red and White Week. 

Wishing you a fun, relaxing summer!
