Alumni Association celebrates familial legacies as academic year begins.
In an event designed to recognize those families who make NC State a family tradition, the Alumni Association held its 11th Annual Legacy Lunch Saturday at Harris Field.
With each incoming freshman class, NC State's student body gets increasingly more diverse. This year's group of nearly 600 Legacy Lunch participants - which included incoming freshmen and transfer students and their close family members with ties to NC State - showed that 2007 was no different.
During a special program featuring a number of campus dignitaries, the "Power Sound of the South" - NC State's marching band - and a barbecue lunch, alumni came from across the country (and the globe) to welcome their sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters as the newest members of the collective NC State family.
Legacy Lunch is a part of NC State's Wolfpack Welcome Week, which offers incoming students an opportunity to experience and explore campus life through social events, service events, and more.
