We held a great panel on using #ArtificialIntelligence to improve efficiency and productivity with Megan Lybrand, Mark Light and Heather Schaffer. There are amazing ways to use AI in your daily activities and as part of our teaching, research, and Extension programs. #CALSProud

To kick off Ag Day weekend, I hosted an ice cream social for CALS students in my office. It was great to enjoy Howling Cow ice cream and prep for CALS Tailgate and Ag Day football tomorrow! #GoPack

Thank you to Wiley Nickel for the fantastic support of the @NCStateCALS Central Crops Research Station in Clayton. We celebrated $1.47M of federal funding to boost agriculture research. Great research station staff and amazing partnerships with @NCagriculture and @USDA_ARS.

Packapalooza has to be one of my favorite NC State events of the year. I’m handing out t-shirts and meeting with students at our CALS booths! You can find us on Hillsborough Street across from Chipotle.

I challenged @NCStateCALS to find me not wearing red, and if they did, then I would buy them lunch. Well, a Zoom call from Asheville, N.C. this summer ended my streak. I paid up with lunch with this outstanding group of leaders (unfortunately missing three due to scheduling).

I had a great time meeting students at the CALS Connection event yesterday. @NCStateCALS’ student orgs, academic programs and embedded counselor were present to connect with students. One of my favorite parts? Free Howling Cow ice cream (and most notably, Tuffy’s Toffee).

The Power Sound of the South is teaching #NCState28 some of our traditions at New Student Convocation. 🔴🤘⚪️ #NCStateWWW
