Kevin Howell Named Interim Head of Alumni Relations

Kevin Howell has been named interim associate vice chancellor for alumni relations and executive director of the NC State University Alumni Association.

In addition to maintaining current alumni outreach and service initiatives and objectives, Howell will work with the Alumni Association Board of Directors and leadership of the university to consider long-term strategies, including the fiscal planning needed to support the growth of the association.

Howell currently serves as assistant to the chancellor for external affairs. He is a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors and the North Carolina State Board of Education.

A former NC State student body president -- and member of the Board of Trustees -- Howell earned his B.A. in political science in 1988 and his law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He and
his wife Aleta, also an NC State alumnus, live in Raleigh with their two daughters.

Transfer Articulation Agreement between LPS and Durham Technical Community College

B.A. in Leadership in the Public Sector Program, North Carolina State University's only online degree completion program, has continued to work closely with community colleges across North Carolina to develop 2+2 articulation agreements. Recently, the LPS program and Durham Technical Community College signed an agreement to prepare junior college graduates with associate of arts degree for entry into the LPS major at NC State University. The primary goal of the agreement is that the articulation agreement will greatly improve the transfer process between Durham Tech Associate of Arts graduates and the LPS program. Although the articulation agreement does not guarantee admission into LPS major at NC State, it will provide a study track for junior college graduates who are willing to advance their educational career without taking a leave of absence or adhering to a rigid class schedule via LPS program's entirely online curriculum.

Still too much risk in the Beach Plan

he hurricane season is heating up, as it often does in the fall. Hurricane Bill is heading west, and while it may not make landfall, any storm conjures images in our state of Hurricane Floyd, whose 10th anniversary is noted this year.

Even as the storm season gets busier, Gov. Beverly Perdue will likely approve changes to the state's coastal insurance system that the legislature approved this session. Own a house at the beach? You continue to benefit from state-sponsored below-market insurance rates. As for the rest of us, we remain on the hook for damages to beach properties we do not own. The changes that the governor will enact do not go far enough to reduce this subsidy, which means that you and I will likely be paying for that insurance, sooner or later.
