Protecting endangered avian species is more than just research for @ncstatefer Ph.D. student Lauren Pharr—it`s a lifelong passion. Recently, her hard work was honored when she was named Young Conservationist of the Year by the North Carolina Wildlife Federation (@ncwildlifefed).
“I have only been studying red-cockaded woodpeckers for almost three years, but it feels like a lifetime of nothing but pure satisfaction. Now, it’s all about continuing to understand impacts of a changing world, and in this specific case, climate change, so that we can make sure this species (as well as others) is protected and around for years to come.” —@ldpharr

Junior Haley Jenkins is passionate about being a part of the solution for climate change.
"I have a passion for science and it’s very important to me to see that the natural resources I encounter every day have successful futures." —@haley.jenkiins
Over the summer, Hailey, who is majoring in sustainable materials and technology (@ncstatefb), served as an undergraduate research assistant with the wood science and engineering program at @oregonstate. While there, Jenkins assisted in testing a species of wood from Japan to ensure its potential usage in residential and housing applications.

Last week, #NCStateCNR and the Tourism Management Association held a book launch for Clark Twiddy`s book, “Outer Banks Visionaries: Building North Carolina’s Oceanfront."
Twiddy is the president of Twiddy & Company (@twiddyobx), a vacation rental management and hospitality firm founded in 1978 along the North Carolina Outer Banks. He was raised in Duck, North Carolina, and is a combat veteran of the U.S. Navy and an alumni of several universities

This summer, one of our recent graduates in the Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism Management (@ncstateprtm) had the opportunity to empower children with chronic medical conditions and serious illnesses. During her internship, Cailsen Lackey `23 served as an adventure counselor at @victoryjunction in Randleman, North Carolina.
"I was interested in becoming an intern at Victory Junction because I wanted to be immersed in a camp where disabilities and illnesses do not define or hold back campers. This proved to be a transformative summer and I’ll take all I learned to future positions in hopes that more recreational sites can be more adaptive and inclusive." —@cailsen

A group of #NCStateCNR researchers have been tasked with leading a $10M research initiative. The initiative will examine the impact of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the forest products industry. 🌳
“Our department is a global leader in research and educational excellence in manufacturing wood, pulp, paper, tissue and hygiene, and packaging products. Our pilot test beds and strong industry support make it a unique place for the execution of this project.” —Dr. Lokendra Pal, Department of Forest Biomaterials (@ncstatefb)
