Well Dr. Stafford always wears a tie
that is from a significant painting, I guess in his life but also in the world,
I mean Picasso, you name it, and he'll wear a tie and he'll come into any type of event or function
and he won't really talk to you until you guess the artist that his tie is about, and nobody ever guesses it,
or maybe some people do but I never guessed right. I always guessed something off the wall like an NC State artist or something local.
He's just an interesting character but also probably the main person at NC State that I remember really advocating for students.
You know it's an interesting thing too to be done with school and to remember when I was here
that I didn't always agree with Dr. Stafford's policies or the fact that, you know,
why can't we have really amazing food for all thirty-four thousand of us every single day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
which the food is amazing, but why can't it be chef-made for every meal?
And so things like that I learned once I graduate that Dr. Stafford always had our best interests at heart,
and I really appreciate him then but especially since I've graduated for all the hard work and countless hours he put in to educate
us at that time for the realistic expectations of being a student at NC State
and how we can contribute after being a student at NC State. A good guy, Dr. Stafford.
