Chancellor Woodson Visits CAMAL

Monday, March 30, we had visitors; Chancellor Woodson and Dean Louis Martin-Vega stopped by to see our newly updated facilities. It’s safe to say they were impressed; Wow was a term used quite frequently. Note that you can click/tap on all pictures for expanded views.

The best was saved for last: Dr. Tim Horn made a gift for Chancellor Woodson that could only be made here; a lifesize titanium football with the NC State logo on the outside and a surprisingly artistic (and intricate) spiral design on the inside. Chancellor Woodson will soon have it on display in the Chancellor’s box at Carter Finley Stadium.
