College announces Pride of the Wolfpack Winners

Aug 25, 2009

The August recipients of the College of Engineering’s “Pride of the WolfPack” award have been announced — and three ECE staff members have been chosen as winners: first time winners Richard Hodson and Joe Matthews, and Brian Carty, who has won twice previously. The “Pride of the WolfPack” is an award designed to recognize NC State employees for a special or unique contribution to their college/unit or the University. Criteria for the award include: Leadership on the job, Customer focus, and Quality of service. Numerous nominations were submitted by ECE faculty and staff, a sample of which we provide below.

Richard Hodson “Richard Hodson has designed a completely new web site for [our facility] …a huge task task since the old web site was not updated for many, many years. Thanks to his dedicated effort and creativity the facility now has a state-of-the-art web site. During this effort, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mr. Hodson.  He was prompt, highly competent in what he did and extremely pleasant to work with. [We] believe the website is a key element in our success since external users find us through our web-site, [providing us] a large fraction of our revenues.”

Brian Carty “I am a retired professor from the ECE Department at NC State. I have had a few computer problems… the most recent was an infection by the confikker worm… I first tried Microsoft’s free online virus removal help, then I contacted Brian, who guided me through a successful removal.  This is but one example of Brian’s competence. Throughout all of my interactions with Brian, he has been prompt, courteous, patient, and competent. He has solved every problem quickly and correctly. Given the degree to which we now depend on our computers, folks such as Brian are worth their weights in gold.”

Joe Matthews “Joe has sustained a high level of professionalism all these years as a lab technician — he is a great resource for students, staff and faculty in processing, materials growth and photolithography… Last year when one of our faculty members was called to serve in Iraq, Joe became indispensable in preserving the continuity for the experimental research projects. [Joe] saves the university thousands of dollars each year by repairing complex cleanroom equipment and instrumentation. His good attitude and professionalism are fantastic and motivating for professors and students alike.”
