A Year of Howling Success

In the past year, nine students have received one of the Division of Academic and Student Affairs’ newest, most prestigious awards. 

The Howling Success award recognizes truly exceptional undergraduate and graduate students who are involved in programs across NC State and the Division of Academic and Student Affairs. During the first year of the initiative, recipients have included a mother in graduate school who overcame a battle with breast cancer, the famous “Green Cloak Guy,” and a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps who is going above and beyond to help fellow service men and women adjust to college life. 

Any NC State staff or faculty member can nominate a student as a Howling Success. In addition to receiving NC State “swag” and a certificate signed by the dean of the division, each honoree is given a platform to tell their story and guide future students through a series of public-facing promotional content, such as digital articles, videos and printed materials.

The following students have received the award:

• Louis Jacobowitz, AKA the “Green Cloak Guy”
• Reid Harris
• Luke Dillard
• Lauren White
• Esmira Poladova
• Hakima Harris
• Devon Waterman
• Kailee Grable
• Trista Acebo

Here is what some of our winners from the past year had to say about receiving the award:
