College Presents Second Annual Leadership and Innovation Showcase
The Leadership and Innovation Showcase puts the spotlight on the college’s students. Undergraduate and graduate students in the college participate with a poster presentation summarizing their innovative work in a project-based course, completed in fall 2009 or spring 2010. The students compete for scholarships that will be awarded for the top presentations in the undergraduate and graduate categories.
In addition, the college recognizes a distinguished individual who has made outstanding contributions to the college, to his or her profession, and to the NC State community. This individual receives the College of Management’s Annual Person of the Year Award and presents the scholarship awards for the top Innovation Showcase student or team project presentations. James Owens, chairman and chief executive officer of Caterpillar, is the college’s 2009 Person of the Year, and Benjamin Jenkins, managing director and vice chairman for retail banking at Morgan Stanley and formerly vice chairman and president of the General Bank at Wachovia Corporation, received the first Person of the Year Award in 2008.
The student showcase and awards programs are open to the public. The showcase is open from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the second floor of Nelson Hall. The Person of the Year and student awards presentations will be held from 5:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Nelson Auditorium, 3400 Nelson Hall. Nelson Hall is located at the corner of Dan Allen Drive and Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, N.C.
