Happy National Take A Hike Day! Here are four of our favorite places in Raleigh to get outdoors and enjoy fall foliage at its peak. 🍁🍂🥾 #TakeAHikeDay
Rick Conner, a senior majoring in paper science and engineering (@ncstatefb), was one of 46 students to travel to Finland as part of the most recent Paper International Experience (PIE). 

"One thing that I learned about myself is that I absolutely love the paper industry and am excited to see what new innovations will present themselves in the next 30 or so years. The trip had our group visiting both active production sites and research and development sites, and some of the lectures had me excited about the future of sustainable manufacturing."

This #VeteransDay, we are very thankful for all who have served our country. 🇺🇸
Recently, students in our James Buzzard Leadership Development Program had the incredible opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. 

During the three-day trip, they explored the nation's capital and engaged with leaders from various fields, including leaders from British Embassy Washington (@ukinusa), The George Washington University (@gwuniversity), @capitalonearena, @u.s.forestservice
 and @usdagov.

Meet Matthew Menon, a sophomore double majoring in environmental sciences and statistics. 📚🐺

Students, like Matthew, who are enrolled in NR 350: International Sustainable Resource Use have the chance to learn more about a global perspective of sustainability by traveling to the Scandinavian countries of North Europe. 

“I chose to study abroad because I am interested in using statistical methods and data science for environmental applications, and I knew I wanted to gain a global perspective on the primary issues surrounding the environment through a program such as study abroad.”
