Join NWI Executive Director Raoul Farer, Ph.D. for an invitation only evening of fellowship amongst NWI’s Emeritus Members – and perhaps some Faculty, Staff and Student guests – following the conclusion of the Spring 2026 IAB Meeting.  Wednesday, May 6, 5:30-8:30pm

After last Fall’s IAB meeting, “Team Academia” went up against “Team Emeriti” in a homemade Chili Cookoff at NC State University’s state-of-the-art teaching kitchen in the Carmichael Gym, 2611 Cates Ave, Raleigh, with Team Academia emerging as the victor though everyone enjoyed the comradery, competition and the chili! 

“Kudos to Dr. Farer for his tremendous efforts to organize an event for the Emeritus members….”
