After more than 14 years as NC State’s chancellor, Randy Woodson announced today that he will retire at the end of his current contract on June 30, 2025. The @unc_system will lead a search for a successor.

Chancellor Woodson’s enduring tenure is testament to both his passion for guiding the Wolfpack and his skill in stewarding one of the nation’s leading public research universities.

“For 14 years, Randy Woodson has perfectly captured the pragmatic brilliance of NC State,” said UNC System President Peter Hans. “Like the university he leads, Randy is sharp, good-natured, and eager to get things done for North Carolina. It’s made him a great colleague and one of the most effective leaders in this state.”

Chancellor Woodson’s tenure has been marked by vast improvements to NC State’s academic measures, research expenditures, entrepreneurial spirit, financial and facility growth, and overall reputation.

“NC State started 137 years ago, and it will continue long after you — or I — are gone,” Woodson said. “Wolfpack, I cannot wait to see what you Think and Do next.”

More information about the chancellor’s legacy and the search for the next chancellor is available at transformation.ncsu.edu.
CRISPR has the power to correct genetic diseases like sickle cell. It can change the fiber content in trees to make them more amenable to processing. 

“What sounded like science fiction just 10 years ago is now a medical therapeutic reality,” said @NCStateCALS distinguished professor Rodolphe Barrangou. 

Barrangou was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for his role as a pioneer of the CRISPR revolution. He joins Chancellor Woodson to talk about his work and to share advice for aspiring scientists.
