Myself and members of our leadership staff are hard at work putting together your year in review of all things NC State happening right on campus and around the world.

Spread of the Deadline | Ring Ceremony
To kick off the beginning of the 2019 Agromeck, Editor-in-chief Katie Tart selected one of the most meaningful NC State traditions, which she believes best represents the theme for this year’s book. “Connected” is the concept chosen by Tart, because she wants to show how even one of the largest universities can be intertwined in so many ways. This spread featuring NC State’s Ring ceremony, is a good representation of the theme, because it shows how a simple ring has so many connections to the university and the people in it, Tart says. Tart also loves how the fine detailed shots of the class ring show the University’s history. To…

This week’s photo of week features a character participating in Cosplay Chess at Animazement. Animazement is Raleigh’s annual Japanese animation and culture convention. In cosplay chess, cosplayers are assigned to be a chess piece during an improv game of chess, and are moved around by chessmasters. Photo editor Kaydee Gawlik selected this photo from Animazement because it shows the crossing over of fans and communities, and how individuals in those communities choose to interpret or represent the things that they enjoy.
Video of the Week | May 21-25
When our leadership staff traveled to Bald Head Island for our leadership retreat given to us by Balfour, our adviser Martha Collins strongly encouraged Photo Editor Kaydee Gawlik to start experimenting with video for our social media and our website. Gawlik did just that, and created this short clip displaying what really goes on behind the scenes with the Agromeck staff: hard work and a little bit of chaos.
On Assignment | Leadership Retreat
This past week the 2018-2019 Agromeck leadership staff took a trip to Bald Head Island, North Carolina to partake in our annual leadership retreat. The staff spent four days on the island, courtesy of our book publisher, Balfour, building team bonds, brainstorming ideas for the next book, and sharpening our skills in our weaker areas in order to return to Raleigh stronger than we left it. Martha Collins, the Agromeck adviser, led the new leadership staff through a series of activities, including simple getting-to-know-you questions and a critique of the previous year’s book. She also facilitated a discussion about what makes a good leader and how we will lead the…
Photo of the Week | May 14-18
Almost a week has passed since the NC State class of 2018 turned the tassel on the next chapter of their lives. This shot of graduates from the College of Veterinary Medicine was taken by senior photographer Nick Faulkner, and was selected for Photo of the Week by photo editor Kaydee Gawlik. Gawlik selected this picture because it is a well-exposed photo that demonstrates a genuine interaction among peers who are celebrating the end of their struggles. Students looking to purchase photos from their graduation year can buy them here.
