Meet Gabby Queen, a rising junior majoring in forest management at NC State. 🌳🎒 Gabby took a leave of absence from her studies to learn more about her passions. Her journey of self-discovery took her everywhere from Tennessee to South America, where she was able to discover her love for serving the land. “My experiences showed me that by studying forestry and prioritizing what I really care about, I live a life in service to the land, my communities and myself.” To find out more about Gabby, click the link in our bio.

Meet Fred Lybrand, a rising sophomore majoring in paper science and engineering. 👋 A native of New Hampshire, Lybrand is one of a few out-of-state students to be awarded a full-ride scholarship to NC State through #NCStateCNR's “Paper Super Scholars” program. "The enthusiasm of the faculty and staff, especially Med Byrd and Angie Rush, was something I had not seen in any other program. All of the students seemed to love the program and everyone had an internship offer. Once I saw the “WolfPack Baby” pilot plant, I was sold. Regardless of the scholarship, I knew I was going to come to NC State to study."

On this #NationalHydrationDay, we encourage you to make sure you are drinking plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty. 🚰 According to our resident expert Dr. Aaron Hipp, it's crucial to maintain your hydration levels and prevent heat-related illnesses. For the average adult who’s working or exercising outdoors, it’s recommended to drink one cup of water every 15-20 minutes. 🔗 Check out the link in our bio to learn more on how to stay cool this summer.
