Students wanted to honor Kay Yow, the previous N.C. State women’s basketball coach, and tomorrow, that desire will become fact. 

 The University and student government officials will unveil the memorial Tuesday in the Coaches’ Corner, located on the west side of Reynolds Coliseum. ”The memorial came from student ideas. The planning, designing and construction was all by students,” Jeff Johnson, a senior in business administration and the director of the memorial, said.  Following the unveiling ceremony, a reception will be held in the North Gallery of Talley Student Center, according to Johnson. ”The memorial is an effort by the student body to construct a memorial to honor Coach Yow and all she meant to our community and University,” Johnson said.  Original estimates for the memorial were $85,000, but ended up costing $45,000, because of lower construction costs, according to Johnson.  ”Student government raised just under $50,000, through private donations, for this memorial,” Johnson said. “The left over money will be split between the Kay Yow Foundation and the Kay Yow Endowment with the Wolfpack Club.” The ceremony Tuesday will be the dedication of the memorial. Chancellor Randy Woodson and Athletics Director Debbie Yow will be speaking. ”Closing remarks will be made by a long time friend of Kay Yow’s, who is not associated with the University,” Johnson said. According to Johnson, students are encouraged to attend the dedication.
