Hello Wolfpack families!

NC State’s annual homecoming celebration, also known as Red and White Week, are fast approaching and all events hosted during the week are open and ready for registration! From Oct. 25 – Nov. 1, NC State opens its doors to its vast community of alumni, faculty, Wolfpack families and friends. Be sure to check out all the events our university provides to ensure you, your alumni and your student(s) have a fun, fulfilling week!

When looking through the events, you may notice that not all events require registration.  Some events, like the Red and White Week Alumni Kickball competition, require a pre-purchased ticket or registration to get a head count. Other events do not have any form of registration, so be sure to save the date on your calendar for ones you’re interested in attending!  This is a great chance to encourage your alumni and your student(s) to engage with the NC State community and explore the vast opportunities available to them!  Also keep in mind that some events are exclusively for our NC State alumni, so be sure to double-check which events you’ve registered for!

The Red and White Week displays its vast community of alumni: the Alumni Entrepreneurs Network, the Black Alumni Society, the Chicago Alumni Network, the Latinx Alumni Network, the Lawyers Alumni Network, etc.  These communities have a variety of events covering from tournaments, tailgates, football game watch parties, to networking socials, welcome receptions, trivia nights and even a reunion concert!  Our alumni have worked hard, and now it’s time to come together and show what it means to be a part of the Pack!

To wrap up our Red and White Week, we invite you to a home football game against the University of California! The Red and White Week is a celebration of the Wolfpack spirit and a reminder to students that the college experience is more than just studying and completing academics. This week reminds us to be proud of ourselves and the community we’ve surrounded ourselves with. Go catch an NC State Volleyball or Hockey game, or spend time with family and friends! Red and White Week celebrates our NC State students and alumni and we hope all families and fans will come together to represent what it means to wear red and white. 

GO PACK!
