Home Is Where the Wolfpack Is
Reconnect with your Pack and everything you love about NC State during our homecoming celebration, Oct. 26 to Nov. 2.
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. 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.)

Did you know that NC State has a presence in every North Carolina county and the Eastern Band of Cherokee? It’s called @NCStateExtension, and it’s how we help all North Carolinians transform science into everyday solutions. 🌱
From June through September, Dean Garey Fox of @NCStateCALS is taking a statewide tour to all 101 local Extension centers plus the Plants for Human Health Institute in Kannapolis. Today, Chancellor Kevin Howell joined Dean Fox in Granville, Vance, Warren and Franklin counties.
“We see what you are doing and we know it is important,” Chancellor Howell said to the staff in Vance County. “Sometimes extension is like planting trees. The person who plants the tree doesn’t always get to pick the fruit, but it does grow. That’s what you folks are doing. You’re planting the trees.”
The tour, known as Expedition Extension, supports and celebrates the people growing North Carolina from the ground up. #ThinkAndDo
Gene editing is changing the business of trees. 🧬
Jack Wang, an alumnus and associate professor of forestry at @ncstatecnr, is breeding trees in a new way. Wang’s work could:
‣make trees more resilient during periods of drought.
‣reduce the carbon emissions of trees when they’re used to produce products like diapers and toilet paper.
‣make trees more resistant to pests.
