[HOWL] Thanksgiving and Campus Events
Message from the SBP [Paul Nolan]
Good evening, Wolfpack! It’s your favorite SBP with your weekly Howl! First, I’d like to apologize for not sending the Howl last week. It was a hectic week… but we got this!
The most important thing to note: last Friday, the university’s Board of Trustees approved tuition and fee increases for next year (2017-18). I took the time to explain these increases as clearly as possible — and state where that revenue will be going — on our Student Government website. The increases are not set-in-stone, the next step is to get approval from the UNC Board of Governors. I felt that y’all deserve to know where we are in the process, and what the NC State students, committees, Chancellor, and Trustees agreed upon.
Also, we’re experimenting with a new style of the Howl! I’d really like your feedback on the online format. Keep being great and I wish you all safe travels during this break!
With Wolfpack Spirit,
Paul

SG UPDATES
