Home Is Where the Wolfpack Is

Reconnect with your Pack and everything you love about NC State during our homecoming celebration, Oct. 27 to Nov. 3.

You’re Red and White for Life

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. Hear the chancellor honor the university’s biggest accomplishments. 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.)

Join us Oct. 27 to Nov. 3, 2024 — in Raleigh or from anywhere.

Featured Events

Each year, we add new and exciting events to the Red and White Week calendar — but we always retain a handful of experiences that are favorites of the Wolfpack. Here are a few of those featured events that will keep you coming home to NC State, year after year.

A new work of art anchors one end of the Oval on Centennial Campus. 🔴⚪️

The installation, titled “Reds and Whites” after the Wolfpack’s favorite colorway, includes a series of human-scale red and white glass designed by world-renowned artist Larry Bell.

The work was unveiled last month, and its plaza was dedicated to Susan Woodson, in honor of her vision for the space.
