Only a few more days of finals to go before winter break. You’ve got this, #NCStateCNR Pack. ✨
Drop your favorite study spot or tip for success. ⬇️

Come take a break from final exams and refuel! 🎨 🧩
The #NCStateCNR Academic Affairs Office is hosting a study break room in the dendro lab (Biltmore 2026) today, Dec. 6, through Wednesday, Dec. 13. From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, there will be snacks, coloring stations, puzzles and notecards with words of encouragement for students.

Let`s give a warm welcome to our new embedded counselor William Hitt. 👋
Through the shared position, undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in both #NCStateCNR and @NCStateCED will receive free counseling services from Hitt on campus and virtually. Hitt is available to meet with College of Natural Resources students in Biltmore Hall 2022D on Mondays and Tuesdays and has virtual availability on Fridays.
📸: Take a look back at today`s meet and greet with Hitt in Jordan Hall Addition.

`Tis the season at #NCStateCNR. 🎄
We had a great tree trimming social this morning in Biltmore. Thank you to all the staff, faculty and students who came out to help decorate the tree and enjoy some cider, hot chocolate, coffee and cookies.

Last week, students in ES 100 Introduction to Environmental Sciences presented their “Lifestyle Change” project. Students and guests had the opportunity to check out their projects and vote for the best posters in Hunt Library’s Teaching and Visualization Room.
The aim of the project was for students to quantify aspects of their daily life (electricity use, driving patterns, food consumption, etc.), then propose a change towards a more environmentally-friendly practice and quantify the environmental impact of the change.

We hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving! We are incredibly thankful for our #NCStateCNR Pack. 🐺🐾

What are you grateful for this year? We`re grateful for all of our amazing students, faculty and staff in #NCStateCNR! ❤️
Make sure to check out and fill out a leaf on our CNR Gratitude Trees, now hanging in Jordan Hall Addition next to Room 1216 and in Biltmore Hall across from Room 2002.

Pssst... It`s one of our favorite days of the year — happy #NationalTakeAHikeDay! 🥾

Did You Know — Americans generate more than 290 million tons of municipal solid waste each year, and nearly 50% is sent to a landfill where it slowly decomposes and emits greenhouse gases?
Researchers in the College of Natural Resources are working to solve this problem by using artificial intelligence to analyze non-recyclable waste items.
“By combining hyperspectral imaging with visual cameras and smart sensors, we can collect data in real-time to improve the process of characterizing and separating waste so that it doesn’t end up in landfills." —Dr. Lokendra Pal, EJ Woody Rice Professor in the Department of Forest Biomaterials (@ncstatefb)
