To the designers of #NCState25: Stay iconic. 🎓❤️
We’re mourning the loss of Professor Vince Foote — a legendary designer, mentor, and educator whose 40-year teaching career at NC State shaped generations of design thinkers. 

Vince wasn’t just an outstanding teacher (though he had the awards to prove it). He was a force — hilarious, unshakable, and deeply invested in the success of his students.

As Professor Audrey Barnes put it: “He empowered generations of NC State design students to believe that not only we could be, but that we should be the leaders of the future. That our ideas mattered regardless of who we were or where we came from.”

To Vince, students weren’t just learners — they were his legacy. As he liked to say, “You are my portfolio.” 

And his portfolio? It’s full of bold thinkers, mavericks, educators, leaders and friends who carry his lessons with them every day.

We invite our community to read more about Vince’s life and lasting impact at the News link in our bio. And if you're ever near Player’s Retreat, raise a glass for him.
