We are so excited to welcome you back to campus to kick off our Spring 2022 Semester! This semester is very special to me since it is my last one before graduation. With that being said, I am excited to take advantage of all that NC State has to offer to make this the most successful semester yet, and hope that your student is too! 

Throughout the Spring Semester, NC State offers a number of major career fairs and events across all colleges and disciplines. Encourage your student to take advantage of career fairs as this is a great chance to explore career opportunities, meet prospective employers and practice professional behavior. Visit ePACK for additional opportunities including information sessions, workshops and other career events. 

Be sure to check out the Events Calendar for more upcoming events and lectures. From January 19th to January 21st the African American Cultural Center is hosting several events to celebrate MLK Week. Be sure to check out the MLK Pop-Up Exhibit, Fireside Chat, Teach-In, Solidarity Fishbowl Conversation and Abolitionism with Niki Franco

Finally, encourage your student to be proactive as they start the new academic year. If your student has expressed anxiety about a difficult course this semester, make sure that they check out the Academic Success Center. If your student needs assistance identifying and pursuing their career goals, encourage them to check out the Career Development Center. NC State offers a wide variety of University Resources to aid your student through inevitable challenges, so make sure that they familiarize themselves with these resources and take advantage of them when needed. 

We are so excited to welcome our new incoming students and our returning students back to campus. Let’s make this the best semester yet!

As always, Go Pack!
