Campus invited
to campaign kickoff
The entire NC State campus is invited for a “Big Bash” on Thursday, Sept. 22, to help kick off the public phase of Achieve! The Campaign For NC State. Events are scheduled from 4 to 7:15 p.m. in and around Talley Student Center.
The Big Bash is one of two public events scheduled for next week. The fund-raising campaign will be announced publicly at 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 23, in the McKimmon Center and is open to the public.
The Big Bash is an evening of “unabashed fun” for faculty, students and guests, starting with an open reception with heavy hors d’oeuvres and entertainment from 4 to 5:45 on the second floor of the Talley Student Center. The chancellor and others will make brief presentations from 6 to 6:15 p.m. in Stewart Theatre, followed by a performance by Raleigh-born Lauren Kennedy and her husband Allen Campbell from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. Kennedy and Campbell have received excellent reviews from critics for their performances in Broadway shows including “Les Misérables,” “Sunset Boulevard,” “South Pacific,” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Since seating in Stewart Theatre is limited, an RSVP is required. Anyone who has not already reserved a spot may do so by sending an e-mail.
“This is going to be a lot of fun and a great kickoff for the Achieve! campaign,” said Alex Miller, associate vice chancellor and director of the university scholars program, and organizer of The Big Bash. “The campaign represents an important moment in the university’s history, and we’d like the entire campus community to come out, have a good time, and celebrate the kickoff with us.”
