Research and science is very important to me. The articles in Technician really catch my eye whenever they tell a story about students and their accomplishments alongside their professors. A lot of the stories cover and highlight achievement while showing just how dynamic N.C. State students are in research and science.

I am writing you to discuss the way you incorporate science into Technician articles. The articles written are important, as they reflect how the institution feels about research and science. N.C. State is a university focusing on finding new information. Technician does an awesome job of highlighting the moments when useful information has been found by students. I would like to applaud your tactics and the ways in which you address the many science projects that students participate in. As a student it is encouraging, after reading your articles, to leave a mark on campus or just to get involved academically. The science articles presented in Technician represent how N.C. State values the students and their work as well as the faculty’s commitment to the academic success of students. This is important as sometimes students may not feel the need to go above and beyond, but recognizing students on a regular basis produces motivation and boosts the confidence of students who get recognized. If I could change anything about the attitude toward science in Technician, I wouldn’t. I believe it truly represents student life and their participation in the sciences. It is a great idea to continue to post similar stories to not only inform the audience but to motivate them as well. Your articles are greatly appreciated.
