Dr. Chris and Mrs. Odile Gould are life-long educators who firmly believe that education can make a monumental difference in one\u2019s life. \u201cI\u2019m a great believer in public education,\u201d Dr. Gould said. \u201cI attended public schools, my wife attended public schools, and one of our daughters went to NC State and the other to UNC Chapel Hill. Public education has served us well.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to their enthusiasm for education and the arts, the Goulds give high priority to philanthropic endeavors. Dr. Gould\u2019s primary interest has become undergraduate scholarship support. They hope that by giving, they can encourage the success of many students in varying disciplines who stand to benefit from grants and scholarships made possible at NC State by such donations. \u201cIt\u2019s compelling to reach the students who never thought of going to college \u2014to help them get in the door and have a chance to see how they can perform. There\u2019s so much opportunity here.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Most recently, the Goulds established a scholarship endowment in the College of Design in honor of Dr. Meredith Davis\u2019 retirement. In addition to being a nationally prominent figure in graphic design, Davis has been an outstanding educator and mentor for more than a decade at the College of Design. Her former students include the Goulds\u2019 daughter Annabelle, now an associate professor of design at the University of Washington. They realize that there are many similarities between the path that Annabelle has taken and Davis\u2019 own professional course. As educators themselves, the Goulds appreciate that their daughter has taken up this challenge. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hoping that this scholarship will provide design students who otherwise might not stick with their education the opportunity to continue. Everyone is trying to make it through school, and financial support to a student who is struggling can go a long way,\u201d said Dr. Gould. \u201cKeep them in the program so that we can expand their talent, and possibly they can have a career like my daughter. Student support is a big thing for the College of Design. I think the College is the jewel of
\nNC State that sometimes gets lost. It is important to maintain a stimulating group of students.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Gould and Mrs. Odile Gould, two life-long educators, sponsored a scholarship in Dr. Meredith Davis’s name to provide support to NC State Design students with financial need-based aid.
