RE:                   NC State University Chancellor Election

As previously announced, the Board of Governors of the multi-campus
University of North Carolina is expected to elect a new chancellor for
NC State University tomorrow (1-8-10) during its regular meeting, to
be held in the main board room of the C.D. Spangler Center in Chapel
Hill.  The meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. with a routine closed
session, with the open session to immediately follow.  The election of a
chancellor will take place in open session, and I expect the candidate
to attend and make formal remarks to the Board of Governors.

Pending election by the Board of Governors, the candidate has agreed to
meet briefly with reporters.  *A short informal press conference will be
held in the Executive Conference Room immediately following the
conclusion of the meeting.*  Biographical information, a prepared
release, and related material will be available.
