MoreThis collection contains oral histories gathered from Kannapolis, North Carolina, residents as well as persons associated with the North Carolina Research Campus. Interviews were conducted in 2008. These histories present a detailed picture of the transformation of work and community in Kannapolis. Kannapolis was once home to Cannon Mills, at one time the largest manufacturer of sheets and towels in the world. In 2003, the Pillowtex Corporation, the last owner of the textile company, closed its doors. This was the largest one-day layoff in North Carolina history. In December 2004, David Murdock purchased the former Cannon Mills Plant One at auction, and then in 2005 in partnership with the University of North Carolina system, he announced plans for a $1.5 billion scientific and economic revitalization project. The result is the North Carolina Research Campus, which houses biotechnology firms and partners them with North Carolina research universities. Through interviews with a variety of people, these oral histories chronicle changes in Kannapolis and the early development of the North Carolina Research Campus.

MoreThe Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee Records include memos, correspondence, flyers, and other records produced by the North Carolina State University Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee from 1979 to 1992, with a gap from 1981 to 1989. While the purpose of the committee was to review and recommend students from NC State University to preprofessional health sciences programs, the information contained within the collection primarily concerns committee duties such as establishing contacts the admissions departments of these programs, maintaining members of the committee, and electing chairs of the committee. Later records contain averaged data about students who were accepted to preprofessional health sciences programs and information about program requirements that the committee would need in order to better assist future applicants. The North Carolina State University Preprofessional Health Sciences Review Committee is a group that reviews students' professional school application packages. The committee has been renamed the North Carolina State University Health Professions Review Committee.

The committee makes a "university committee recommendation" for each applicant reviewed and submits this along with the student's "composite" review committee recommendation to each school to which they ask to have their file sent. The committee began in 1975 according to a piece of correspondence in the collection and exists in the present as of 2012, but there is no clear mention of specific people associated with beginning this committee.

MoreThe University Logo Committee Records include minutes and memos from the North Carolina State University, University Logo Committee and samples of items that the committee produced or helped to produce including letterhead, forms, bulletins, brochures, and catalogues, all from the 1970s. There is no discernible record about when the North Carolina State University, University Logo Committee began nor when it ended. Based upon what is available in the collection, it is clear that is existed in the 1970s, and members assisted in the production of university letterhead, brochures, catalogues, and forms. Some memorandums show that the Chancellor, some faculty members, and members of the School of Design were involved with this committee. The purpose for the committee appears to be to come up with a logo that would be consistent campus-wide for production upon letterhead, stationery, brochures, and other such materials used to promote the university or in correspondence from the university. Now the logo and other such marketing entities are managed by a group called NC State University Brand that releases a guide each year describing which logos will be used and how they should be used. The NC State University Brand group has the same objective--to create a consistent, campus-wide use of logos.

MoreThe University Planning Committee Records contain meeting agendas and minutes, memos, calendars, reports, and other documents produced by and about the North Carolina State University, University Planning Committee from 1948 to 1991 with a gap from 1953 to 1983. While the purpose of the committee was to plan the development of the university, the contents within the collection are primarily about the committee itself. According to the contents of the collection, the North Carolina State University, University Planning Committee was meant to develop university-wide, long-range goals that serve as guidelines for the development of departments, colleges, schools, and administrative units. These goals were related to research, graduate education, diversity, and several other subtopics. The earliest documentation from 1948 calls the entity the Planning Committee of the School of Engineering of the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering at the University of North Carolina, indicating that the committee was originally formed only for the School of Engineering and later expanded to serve the university as a whole. There is no record of when this committee began or who started it; from the collection, it is clear that it existed in some form as of 1948. The University Planning Committee appears to have existed as late as 2005 but in the present, as of 2012, it has been replaced by the Strategic Planning Committee started in 2010 by Chancellor Randy Woodson. This committee serves the same functions as the University Planning Committee.
