NC State will honor its employees next week as part of a statewide effort to recognize state employees.
The governor has designated Sept. 27 to Oct. 2 as State Employee Recognition Week and Sept. 30 as State Employee Appreciation Day.
On Sept. 30, NC State will send employees a special video message from Chancellor Randy Woodson and members of his cabinet. In recognition of the week, University Human Resources has scheduled a series of virtual events for employees.
