After new Student Body President Bobby Mills joined the Board of Trustees earlier this summer, the Board swore in its final three new members Monday and elected this year’s officials.

Gayle Lanier, the vice president and general manager of knowledge services for Nortel, Barbara Mulkey, the CEO of Mulkey Engineers and Consultants, and John Sall, a co-founder and executive vice president of the SAS Institute, were the new trustees sworn in.

The trustees elected McQueen Campbell, the 1993 alumnus and commercial real estate broker for Campbell Property Group Inc., as the chair of the board.

Serving as vice chair is former North Carolina lieutenant governor Bob Jordan.

Lanier has been active with the University since her graduation in 1982, as she serves on the board of the Kenan Institute of Engineering, Technology and Science. She said she jumped at the opportunity to be on the Board of Trustees and will be most focused on how the University must adapt to the growing enrollment.

“How we grow and get visibility is an important issue,” Lanier said. “The school is an unrecognized jewel in the knowledge we bring to the industry.”

Sall, who has two children that have come through the University, works with N.C. State through SAS.

“I’m new to the board so I haven’t done my homework yet on all the issues,” Sall said. “But I will be very soon.”

Mulkey has worked for many years with civil engineering students through leadership initiatives, like the Shelton Leadership Forum, and said her company always hires a number of NCSU students.

“Being from the engineering and technology side, it is important to continue to look at the University in a diverse matter and attract a diverse group of students,” Mulkey said. “I’ve seen the need for graduates with people skills. So I’d like to think I’d make a difference in attracting those kind of students.”
