I always get excited when NC State Grads reach out to me to take their photos.

Growing up I always wanted to go to State (having spent my weekends during High School there going to punk shows and sneaking into bars - sorry mom) But I will basically take any excuse to walk around campus and feel those moments of nostalgia. From late nights in the design studio working on my set designs, to watching a million films in Caldwell Hall.

When Anna wanted to meet at the bell tower to get that quintessential Wolfpack photo we were greeted by none other than Dr. Stafford, who used to be Vice Chancellor of NC State and who now gives tours of the bell tower. He let us take a look inside and gave us some history of the Bell Tower. Being an NC State grad myself it was really cool to get a look into such a monument. (It also has Chamber of Secret vibes)

Afterwards since the bell tower was crowded with other graduates we took a stroll along the english department (a side Anna hadn’t seen much of having a science focused degree) and took in the green spaces dispersed through the brick.

Congrats Anna and I hope that Raleigh continues to hold a special place in your heart.
