GAYLE APPOINTED TO STATE BOARD

GREENSBORO - Dr. Godfrey Gayle of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University has been appointed to the North Carolina Board of Licensing of Geologists by Governor Mike Easley.

In this role, Gayle, director of A&T's Bioengineering Program, will join four others on a board which sets standards for licensed geologists in North Carolina. Standards and other policies established by the board are intended to protect life, property, health and public welfare through the regulation of the practice of geology in the State of North Carolina.

The appointment is for three years, and is renewable.
"It is indeed a pleasure to represent A&T on this board," said Gayle. "This appointment is a testament to the strength of the A&T program and to the impact that it has on the state and nation."

Gayle became the first African American to receive a Ph.D. in Biological and Agricultural Engineering from North Carolina State University, in 1982.
