See Yourself in Our Community
The City of Raleigh recently awarded the Next Generation of Environmental Leaders Award to the Environmental Resources Water Assessment Training Program (ERWATP). This innovative program is led by our own Dr. Angela Allen.
“This recognition from the City of Raleigh highlights the powerful link between mentorship and environmental stewardship. My goal is to show NC State students that scientific rigor is a tool for real-world impact, and this honor serves as a wonderful validation of that mission.
This award is a testament to the strength of our community partnerships and the dedication of our students. I am humbled to see our high-impact work recognized by the city we serve.” -Dr. Angela Allen, assistant teaching professor in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources (@ncstatefer)
In 2024, Dr. Allen was awarded the NC Source Water Protection Award for Education by the NC Source Water Collaborative. In 2025, she was awarded the Sustainability Award for the Faculty Recipient with her work leading the training program.
In addition, the ERWATP was selected into the fall 2025 cohort of Packways ABCs to be recognized as a high impact experience and is now a part of the NC State Packways.
The college`s Trailblazing donor celebration was a big success this year. ❤️ 🤍
This annual event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our donors who make a big difference. This year, we had 114 guests and 48 student volunteers in attendance.
NC State’s team recently won first place in the Solar District Cup Competition. 🎉

Administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Solar District Cup is a national competition that challenges students to design real-world solar energy solutions. Participants gain hands-on experience, build their portfolios and may even earn course credit.
