Howl About You
Employee Spotlight Series
NC State employs more than 8,000 employees who work across a multitude of colleges, divisions, departments, offices and units that spread across the state. Even though some of us have developed close professional relationships and friendships with colleagues, for many of us getting to know anyone other than our daily co-workers is difficult. That’s why we’ve created Howl About You, a page where we shine a spotlight on our employees by letting them share five facts about themselves. As you read the entries on Howl About You, we hope you discover someone who shares the same professional or personal interests as you and make a connection with them.

Courtney Thornton
I am proud to have two undergraduate and two graduate degrees from NC State. Go Pack!
As an undergraduate, I was a founding member of the Ladies in Red a capella group. The members are celebrating their 30-year anniversary this academic year. (Did I just share my age?)
I’ve drafted two fiction novels. Whether either story is ever completed or shared, I enjoy them as unfinished creative projects.
I learned to play piano in my childhood and the piano accordion in my 40s.
In another year, my husband and I will be empty nesters. We are starting to work our way together through two scratch-off posters: 100 essential novels and national parks.
