JULY/AUGUST 2021 ■ 7 ■ WOLFPACK CLUB NEWS COMPLIANCE CORNER CAN I HAVE A STUDENT-ATHLETE OR THE TEAM OVER TO MY HOUSE FOR DINNER? Answer: Yes, donors/supporters can provide student-athletes with what is called an "occasional meal." There are VERY specific NCAA requirements about this, so contact the compliance staff and the coaching staff if you want to do this. WHEN I WATCH A GAME AND SEE A TALENTED HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER WHO I THINK WOULD BE GREAT FOR NC STATE, WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THIS INFORMATION? Answer: Contact the coaching staff of that sport and pass along the information. You cannot be a recruiter for NC State, which means you cannot be communicating with recruits, but if you occasionally see a player who seems like a great fit for us, then by all means, pass along the information. If you are ever in doubt, contact the compliance staff BEFORE doing what you want to do! Thanks for everything you do to keep NC State safe!

Family: "My husband, Bryan, and I live in Willow Springs with our three children — Charlie is 13, Bekah is 12 and Kate is 9.

"My dream job was actually to work with children and teach Kindergarten." ■ WOLFPACK CLUB STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Media Hooks, Director of Marketing And Communications Media with husband Bryan and children Kate (left), Bekah and Charlie.
