“Use what you have learned from this family and this home. Hold the connections dear to your heart. I want you to right now think of someone in that next stage of life that encompasses what we have learned over these four years — to fight with poise even when the odds are low, to have courage and grace, to care and support those around you.

For me, that person is my mom. She encompasses strength and poise, living life to the fullest and is my pillar of hope. Use that person as your constant reminder of these traits that you hope to hold onto and a role model as you continue to develop into who you are over this next period of life.” — @bryzygirl10

Meet soon-to-be #NCState24 @ncstatealumni Austin Quate. 👋 🎓 🐺

Austin will be graduating with a master’s degree in forestry from @ncstatefer. After graduation, he plans to continue working in forestry and tree improvement.

“Five years ago, I graduated with my bachelor’s in forest management with a plan to go into the private industry to start a career in forestry. A few years later, I left that company to come back to the College of Natural Resources to pursue a master’s degree in forestry with the Cooperative Tree Improvement Program (@ncsu_tip).

Guidance and advice from my family, friends, and faculty and staff at CNR lead me to the decision to come back to the best college at NC State. CNR is a great place to learn and develop lifelong connections. CNR has changed a lot in the last five years, but one thing that hasn’t is the number of great faculty and staff that care about us students and developing us for whatever plans we have once we leave.” —@austinquate
