Howl About You

Employee Spotlight Series

NC State employs more than 8,000 employees who work across a multitude of colleges, divisions, departments, offices and units that spread across the state. Even though some of us have developed close professional relationships and friendships with colleagues, for many of us getting to know anyone other than our daily co-workers is difficult. That’s why we’ve created Howl About You, a page where we shine a spotlight on our employees by letting them share five facts about themselves. As you read the entries on Howl About You, we hope you discover someone who shares the same professional or personal interests as you and make a connection with them. 

Learn how to participate in Howl About You!


Maurice Mathis

Senior Director, TRIO Pre-College Programs
Division of Academic and Student Affairs

I’ve been involved in TRIO, a program that helps students from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds access higher education, my entire professional career.

The piano is my safe space. I’ve played for over 25 years.

I’m a proud member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. I’m an active member of a graduate chapter that provides extensive community service in Durham County.


I moved to Raleigh without ever visiting to pursue a master’s degree in communication at NC State. Fifteen years later, I’m still a member of the Pack.

I am happily married. Antoinyce and I have three children: 7-year-old twins Gordyn and Winston and 2-year-old Evan.

How To Participate

We’d love for you to submit five facts about yourself so we can share them on our website and/or in Howl You Know, the HR newsletter. Just fill out this form, and our communications team will review your submission for publication. If you have questions or know of an employee who would be great for us to spotlight, send an email to hrcommunications@ncsu.edu and write Howl About You in the subject line.
