About the Department

North Carolina State University (NC State) was founded in 1887 with the purpose of creating economic, societal and intellectual prosperity for the people of North Carolina. Today NC State is the largest university in North Carolina, with more than 37,000 high-performing students, 9,000 preeminent faculty and staff and 260,000 alumni. NC State is a research-extensive university known for its leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We're also at the forefront of teaching and research in agriculture, business, design, education, humanities and social sciences, natural resources, textiles and veterinary medicine. NC State is consistently named as one of the best values in higher education, and many of our programs are ranked at the top of their respective disciplines. We take a great deal of pride in our collaborative, supportive and collegial team culture. All staff are provided opportunities for training and professional development, with an eye to personalized career growth.

The mission of University Advancement in particular is to raise awareness and philanthropic support for university goals and priorities that benefit our students, faculty, this campus, and ultimately, the state of North Carolina and beyond.

At its core, the team is responsible for linking live communications events and special activities to the strategic priorities of the university. Activities include directing donor centric experiences, coordinating multi-unit event projects, managing board and leadership events, and creating opportunities to expand brand awareness. USE invites thousands of donors, dignitaries, elected officials, media, alumni, members of the community, faculty, staff, students and parents to activities that highlight the excellence and innovation that are hallmarks of NC State University programs, faculty and students.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at NC State leads partnership-driven discovery, learning and engagement. We prepare students, create and apply unbiased knowledge through advances in science and technology and drive economic development to improve the quality of life in North Carolina, our nation and the world. Our people fulfill the land-grant mission by embracing an interdisciplinary approach to achieve new scientific breakthroughs that translate into commercializable discoveries and meet grand challenges involving food, farming, fiber, feed, families, health, energy, water and the environment.
