Red and White Week is our annual homecoming celebration of NC State, our Think and Do spirit, and the entire Wolfpack community of alumni, students, staff, faculty, donors, parents, families, partners and friends. It’s our favorite week — because we get to see you.
You’ll revisit your favorite NC State places. Cheer on your favorite football team. Reconnect with your Wolfpack through dozens of events, and online via social media.
Most importantly, you’ll remember why NC State will always be home. (Be sure to pack plenty of red.)

📌 @ncstatedesign alum and NC State creative director Mark McLawhorn began drawing and illustrating Wolfpack Cartoons as an undergrad at @ncsutechnician. To celebrate 30 years of the series, this season features guests artists — and some mixed media.
🎨 This week’s cartoon is illustrated by Avery Szakacs who graduated from @ncstatedesign this past May with a bachelor’s in art and design and a minor in biological sciences. Avery worked as a graphic illustrator and cartoonist for the Technician from her freshman year to senior year, making over 90 graphics in total for the paper.
Happy Oct. 3 to all who celebrate. 🙂↕️❤️🔥
You might know March 7, 1887, as our Founders’ Day, but Oct. 3, 1889, is the date that NC State — then known as North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts — opened its classrooms to the first students. It’s also the day that the doors of the Main Building, now called Holladay Hall, first opened.

The sunset of our wildest dreams. ❤️🔥🙂↕️
