Birthday cake and ice cream will be served on NC State’s campus today. The Wolf-pack is 125-years-old.

Leoneda Inge: NC State has a lot to celebrate from the classroom, to research laboratories to the basketball court. A new video highlights 125 years of accomplishments – featuring a quote from longtime NC State Chancellor John Tyler Caldwell.

John Tyler Caldwell: You just don’t know how magnificent you might be…think big, think big.

Brad Bohlander is a spokesman for NC State.

Brad Bohlander: NC State has really always done work that matters in the state. It’s educating the future workforce of tomorrow, it’s driving economic impact.

Today’s birthday party begins at 1:30pm in Reynolds Coliseum. The men’s basketball team will also be honored.
