Description
Welcome to the NC State Alumni Association's podcast, Hear the Howl.
For years, NC State magazine's staff has dedicated itself to telling compelling stories about the university. We have captured stories of alumni, students, and faculty and their achievements, discoveries, and contributions to making the world a truly extraordinary place.
Hear the Howl continues that tradition of rich storytelling by enabling listeners to hear some of our subjects interviewed, go behind the scenes of our magazine stories or go more in depth than the pages of the magazine sometimes allow.

Hannah Skillestad knew early on that her future was in food and the conquests associated with it. She won a Jell-O-eating contest as a kid. And as a student at NC State, the now-program assistant in Annual Giving took home the title in a pancake-eating competition put on by Owen Hall. However, no victory tasted as sweet--or, in this case, as savory--as the one she captured back in June at Cary's Pimento Cheese Festival. There, she was crowned champion and self-proclaimed Little Miss Pimento Cheese 2019.
Courtney Simpson, the senior director of student support services programs at NC State, found a valuable sense of community after graduation. Learn how the Black Alumni Society (BAS) has played a major impact in her life and how it became one of the Alumni Association's strongest constituency groups, as they celebrate their 40 year anniversary this year, connecting some 15,000 members.
Donald Moore is in his 18th year as president and GM of Minor League Baseball's Greensboro Grasshoppers. Such a long tenure proves he knows how to sell a ticket to get people to First National Bank Field. He does it with the help of man's best friend. On this episode, Moore talks about what made him introduce the black Lab Miss Babe Ruth, pictured here, to Grasshoppers' fans and why he carries on her legacy with bat dogs at the ballpark.
