Wolf Tales recording with Niraj Lavani, 25 March 2017

Description:

This recording was conducted in the Talley Student Union on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, at NCSU’s EKTAA (South Asian Student Association) 2017 Oak City Revolution dance competition. In the recording, Niraj Lavani (‘19) discusses: becoming involved in the 2016 Oak City Revolution competition and taking on a leadership role as Marketing Chair for the 2017 event; going to his first planning meeting with EKTAA for OCR in D.H. Hill Jr. Library, and later coming to view the group as like a family; becoming more connected to the NC State community through his involvement with EKTAA and OCR; hoping to see OCR grow and represent more of the South Asian community at NC State in the years to come; and developing aspirations to direct OCR in his senior year. This recording was created with the support of funds made possible through a 2016-2017 Diversity Mini-Grant from the NCSU Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity (OIED).

Wolf Tales: Capturing Voices of the Pack: As part of the NC State University Libraries Special Collections Research Center, the Wolf Tales project collects the stories of the NC State community, past and present. NC State community members are invited to share memories of the events, people, and places that shaped their time at NC State. Stories are preserved and shared with current and future generations, to tell the history of NC State University through the voices of the people who lived it. Wolf Tales recordings and transcripts will be archived at NC State University Libraries and shared online through our Special Collections website.
