Meet the Dean
Earlier this week, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management (@ncstateprtm) hosted its annual end-of-year celebration. The event celebrated all students, faculty and staff in the program and all of the department’s success and achievements.
📸: Take a look back at the event’s highlights.
Congratulations to our own Dr. Angela Allen, faculty recipient of this year’s NC State Sustainability Award! Student nominees this year included our own Nicole Rosales-Garcia, Clara Stec and Morgan Starnes. 🎉
Dr. Allen is an assistant teaching professor of forestry and environmental resources (@ncstatefer). Through the Environmental Resource Clinic Student Training Program, Allen has trained students to conduct water quality testing and monitoring.
"This award means a lot to me as I was given support to mentor our next generation of scientists in a research arena. One program goal is to allow students the opportunity to gain skills in water quality through practical skills and community involvement."
Nicole Rosales-Garcia is a graduating senior, majoring in environmental science. While working in the Campus Tree Education Internship, Nicole helped create the Campus Tree Tours at NC State.
Nicole has also contributed to research in climate science and community engagement. “Both of these projects have my heart and soul in them and are my highlights when I talk about impactful research/experiences within NC State and my department.” —@nicole.innature
Clara Stec is a junior, majoring in business administration with a minor in environmental science, and is a KIETS Climate Leaders Program Scholar.
Clara piloted the Sustainability Career Development Program and chaired its student advisory board. “I helped build a student-alumni sustainability network and launched a Sustainability Alumni Mentorship Program to connect students with real-world insights and career pathways.” —@_clarastec
Morgan Starnes is a graduating senior, majoring in environmental technology and management.
Morgan is an intern with @ncstaterecycles and NC State`s Stormwater Management team and president of @zerowastewolvesncsu. “From tabling in Talley and Fountain, to working at athletic events reducing waste going to landfill, I have been all over campus educating students and the public on how to be better stewards of the environment.”

The summit, hosted alongside @packathletics and Wolfpack Women, helps develop, connect and advance women interested in entering the sport industry. This year’s keynote speaker was Dr. Heidi Grappendorf. Dr. Grappendorf is a professor of sport management at Western Carolina University.
We spoke to some graduating #NCStateCNR students to get their words of wisdom for prepping for final exams next week. 🐺🐾 Check out what they had to say.
This afternoon, @ncstateferlb hosted its De-Stress Fest to help students unwind before finals. We loved having Eno the Therapy Dog pay our students an adorable visit. 😍 🐾
