Background: North Carolina State University
is an institution of higher learning located in Raleigh,
North Carolina. North Carolina State University was
founded and designated as the state's first land-grant
institution by the General Assembly in 1887 as the North
Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
The current chancellor of NCSU is Marye Anne Fox, the
institution's first female chief executive; its provost
is James Oblinger. As of April 2004, Fox has taken a
job as Chancellor at the University of California, San
Diego.
Campus:
NCSU Bell Tower
Architecturally, NCSU is known for its distinctive red
brick buildings and the "belltower." Due to
oversupply, odd brick statues dot the landscape, a large
section of campus is paved over with brick (University
Plaza, a.k.a. "the brickyard"), and most sidewalks
are also made with brick. These sidewalks are also dotted
with white brick mosaics.
Other hotspots on campus include the Free Expression
Tunnel, one of three pedestrian tunnels underneath the
railroad tracks bisecting the main campus. This particular
tunnel is the site of sanctioned graffiti; anyone may
tag here, and it is often the place for announcements,
birthday messages, and generally nifty art.
