Check out this “Rad” Wolf

Chancellor Marye Ann Fox with “Rad” Wolf at the NC State/Clemson Textile Bowl tailgate party.

This “Rad” Wolf is located in the Atrium at the NC State College of Textiles.  He was designed by Branan Hackney, Megan Scronce, Kilara Little, Katherine Hudson, Jessica Smyth and Orvokki Halme, six of the first students of the Anni Albers Scholars Program at the College of Textiles.  “Rad” Wolf was designed with a 1980’s theme.  The fur fabrics were donated by Glenoit in  Tarboro, NC.  The white fur is a phosphorescent fiber that glows in the dark!  The socks on the wolf were knitted here at the College of Textiles using the phosphorescent fibers that were developed here at the college.  The eyes also glow!

So just what is the Anni Albers Scholars Program?  The Anni Albers Scholars Program is a unique new program at NC State offering students two degrees, one being a Bachelor of Science degree in Textile Technology from the College of Textiles and the other a Bachelor of Art and Design degree from the College of Design.   Please visit www.tx.ncsu.edu/departments/tatm/anni_albers.html to learn more about the program.

This wolf is part of the “Red Wolf Ramble” happening around Raleigh and Cary.  There are 100 wolves in different locations for you to visit.  Go to www.raleighcvb.org to learn more about the ramble and where all the wolves are located!
