What's next?

Get involved on campus during YOUR time at NC State!!!

Surveys conducted by the Division of Academic and Student Affairs of students at NC State have found that being involved on campus gives students a stronger support network, makes them more likely to graduate (and on time), helps them develop diverse skill sets, and makes them more marketable to employers when they graduate. In addition, those students feel a greater sense of belonging to the Wolfpack and make friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

The Student Leadership and Engagement office has some tips and tricks to share for all the new students and current students to best get involved on campus and enjoy their campus life at NC State. Visit our guide to involvement by clicking here!

Fall 2022 Leadership Development Program - Register Today!

What is the Leadership Development Program (LDP)?

10 Foundation Courses + Leadership Experience + Coach + Reflection = Leadership Certificate

In this week's newsletter, we will focus on this program's 10 foundational workshops.

The workshops are designed to be taken in order, and students could take the scheduled path either on Tuesdays or on Wednesdays at 6-8 pm

"My favorite part about participating in the LDP program was the leadership experience. I really liked being pushed to test out new leadership ideas in a real scenario," said Gabe Walker, who was in the LDP program in the fall of 2021.

It is offered at no cost and is open to all students. It will remain open until filled or when courses start on 9/6.
