Good morning everyone. Chandler and James, these are outstanding students, and I think
you know that NC State is blessed with really talented and very committed students, and
Chandler and James are two terrific examples of that. It's one of the reasons that today
is such a special day in the life of North Carolina State University. I'm very pleased
to announce this morning that NC State University's longtime friends, Lonnie Poole and Carol Lynn
Johnson Poole, have promised and are providing the largest gift in our history - a gift of
40 million dollars. We gathered here in Nelson Hall because a substantial part of this 40-million-dollar
gift is a naming gift for the College of Management, from henceforth forward, to be called the
Lonnie C. Poole Jr. College of Management.
