NC State Farmer's Market strawberries

Growing a Tradition

On any given day, it seems there's something exciting going on at NC State's Brickyard. Earth Day – April 22 – proved to be no different, as the landmark was the site for what student organizers hope will become a weekly series of Farmer's Market events – sales that will bring a variety of North Carolina-grown foods and products to students, faculty and staff members headed through Central Campus.

Aria Behrouzi said NC State career services professionals played a key role in his successful job search.

Ready for Work

Last fall, the leaves hadn’t even begun to change colors on trees across campus, but Aria Behrouzi already had a job offer in hand from a national, high-profile manufacturing company. The U.S. economy took a nosedive shortly after, and the offer vanished. Hard work, a bit of creative thinking and guidance from a group of NC State career service specialists help get Behrouzi back on track and into an exciting new position, just in time for Saturday's graduation.
