The Goodnight Scholars distinguished speaker Fredi Lajvardi speaks in Talley Student Center about his past high school students, who, despite being undocumented immigrants, were able to build a robot which beat that of MIT. Lajvardi stated that "though those four boys [his students] struggled and only one got the American dream, they opened the doors for so many more." He continued to advocate for STEM and for diversity within STEM. When speaking to the future teachers in the audience he commented that the biggest thing missing was the ability to inspire and motivate the students and, of himself, thought "instead of a teacher, I became an obstacle remover. I prefer the term facilitate."

NC State's first 9/11 Memorial Ceremony and Run is held on Stafford Commons to honor those who lost their lives due to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. American flags formed a pentagon which surrounded the two towers and the numbers nine and three, which commemorated all of those on United Airlines Flight 93 who died in the attacks. Christopher Caporali, a senior studying meteorology, hoped this event would "inspire change in how we respond to acts of terrorism as a Pack, as a Raleigh community and as a country." Caporali, several on-campus organizations and local Raleigh fire and police departments gathered Saturday morning to celebrate the resilience of the American people 15 years later.
