Your gifts lead us forward in solving the grand challenges of our complicated world. NC State is transforming the student learning experience; building the nation’s most innovative, collaborative and entrepreneurial faculty; and harnessing the power of local and global partnerships – to drive cutting-edge research, find solutions that make the world better, help launch new companies and revitalize industries.
