Oblinger celebrated a year’s worth of accomplishments by members of the university community, while also calling upon them to continue NC State’s legacy of groundbreaking research, education and service in spite of the challenging economic uncertainties facing those on campus and beyond.

Our engineering team is continuing to work hard to eradicate the gremlin infestation in our transmitter tower, but in the meantime you may hear bursts of static in the analog signal this afternoon. You can continue to listen to static free WKNC all afternoon through our webstream, which will not be affected by the maintenance. Baseball fans fear not, our engineers will have everything back to normal in time for NC State to take on NC A&T at 6:30.
M.C. talks with Jennifer Halweil about the Hillsborough Street Renaissance, an environmentally-friendly effort to revitalize the street that borders N.C. State’s campus. M.C. also spoke with Mor Aframian and Michael Perros about the Redress Raleigh Fashion Show, part of the Renaissance festivities.
