Dear faculty and staff,
We’re getting ready to observe our first Wellness Day of the calendar year on Tuesday, February 17. On this day, there will be no classes held and no assignments due, and I encourage instructors to avoid tests or deadlines on that day or the next.
Our Wellness Days are an effort to provide the campus community with an opportunity to reflect on their health and well-being. For more details on how you and your colleagues and students can observe Wellness Day, visit https://wellness.ncsu.edu/wellness-day/.
We’re currently in the process of seeking nominations for honorary degrees, which represent NC State’s highest recognition of outstanding contributions to academic, professional or civic society that create a model for others to emulate and reflect the mission and vision of the university. If you know of someone who would be a great fit for an honorary degree, read our article in this month’s newsletter and visit the provided link to make a submission.
In this newsletter, you’ll also get to learn more about the importance of digital accessibility at NC State, as well as hear from your colleagues about what they love most about the university.
Thank you to each and every one of you for getting the semester off to a great start. I look forward to see what the coming months hold for our teaching, research, service and engagement at NC State.

Until next time,
Warwick Arden
Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost
