We’re headed into the 2021-22 academic year with a Wolfpack family that is larger than ever before. More than 5,000 first-time, first-year students recently made their way to campus, along with many new faculty, transfer and graduate students, and staff members.

We’re in the middle of a busy summer season, with no signs of slowing down. The campus community is working hard not only to engage in regular activities, but also to prepare for a return to mostly normal operations this fall. It will certainly look and feel different than last year.

Even in the face of a pandemic, NC State continued to provide a top-notch experiential education to students and impact the community throughout the 2020-21 academic year. I cannot thank each and every one of you enough for working to make this possible.

I hope that you’ve been able to share in the positive happenings around campus lately. With the advent of spring came news of expanded vaccine eligibility, and many in our community have already taken advantage of that opportunity.

As we move through the spring semester, we’re facing a renewal of hope for the campus community. Many of you have already been able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, with many more of you scheduled to do so in the near future.

2020 turned out much different than any of us could have ever imagined. You’ve experienced more than your fair share of hardships, both personally and professionally, and navigated through the COVID-19 pandemic, racial injustice, a challenging election season and more.

The end of the fall 2020 semester is drawing near, but there’s still plenty of activity taking place. We’re in the middle of a different, yet quite exciting, Red and White Week. Even with most events being held virtually, the week captures everything our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends hold dear about NC State.

As we move into another month of online instruction, it is important now more than ever that we find ways to stay connected while we’re apart. Faculty, staff and students are feeling the impacts of being removed from campus both physically and mentally.
