Greetings, Golden Grads Forever Club Members,

I am proud and honored to assume the presidency following John Bartelme. John and his predecessors set a very high bar. They developed and significantly expanded our activities and programs, and it is humbling to follow in their very large footsteps. Thank you, John, for your service!

We are 22,000 members strong and a vital part of the worldwide network of Wolfpack alumni. It is an exciting time to be an alumnus of NC State. As graduates of 50 or more years, we have the opportunity to give back through our time, talent and resources while being part of a great university community.

I urge you to take advantage of our Forever-in-a-Day tours, local and regional alumni events, and our annual reunion in May. These are opportunities to stay connected to NC State.

I hope you will also attend one of the Celebrating Transformation events honoring retiring Chancellor Randy Woodson.

We always welcome your comments and suggestions on how we can enhance our efforts to engage our members.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at one of our events.
