February 2026 Provost’s Corner

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.

We’re getting closer to the end of the fall semester and a much-deserved break. But first, we’re looking forward to a time of celebration with our university community during winter commencement on December 13, welcoming many new alumni into our family.

Thank you all for yet another successful Red and White Week — we are fortunate to have witnessed the installation of Chancellor Kevin Howell, and we were all reminded why NC State is such a special place to call home. Now the final exams and commencement are coming up; the time has certainly flown by this semester!

We’re nearly a month into the 2025-26 academic year and our Wolfpack family has grown and making great strides in teaching, learning, serving and engaging our community so far. As we head into the fall and (hopefully) cooler weather, there’s lots going on at NC State and so much to think and do.
