Speaking of NC State heroes,  NC State Welcomes Home a ‘Hero’ Alum Thursday.

North Carolina State University will hold a rally to show support for Doc Hendley, a 2004 alumnus named one of 10 “CNN Heroes” and a finalist for this year’s CNN Hero of the Year award, at noon on Thursday, Nov. 5, on the Brickyard.

The event will include comments from Hendley, Chancellor James Woodward and Thomas Crowder, a member of Raleigh City Council.

Media coverage of the rally is invited. Call News Services at 515-8387 for information on parking near the Brickyard.

CNN Heroes are cited as “ordinary people having extraordinary impact.” Hendley is founder and executive director of “Wine to
Water,” an international faith-based organization that installs running water and sanitation systems in the neediest parts of the world.
Online voting for the Hero of the Year award runs through Nov. 19 on CNN’s Web site.
