We fuel Pack pride by creating powerful experiences that connect our alumni, friends, students and partners to NC State — and one another — for life.
Making a Difference
Bolstered by an exceptional education and valuable real-world experiences, College of Natural Resources alumni leave our halls ready to work hard to drive innovation and tackle global challenges that affect us all. They are leading the way in fields like sustainability and conservation, paper science, recreation and tourism, public policy, business, law and environmental science.
Our alumni go far, but many also stay near. They are making North Carolina a better home for all its residents by driving three of the state’s top five industries: forestry, wood products, and tourism and golf.
The College of Natural Resources is a small community on a big campus. Our faculty, staff and students are a family who learn and solve problems together, support one another and build networks that span the world and last a lifetime.
After you graduate, you remain a valued part of our community. By giving your time, talent and resources to the college, you can support our important work, especially in developing the next generation of natural resources leaders.
Check out some ways you can stay connected with us and with NC State.
Kaitlyn will be graduating with a bachelor`s degree in natural resources from @ncstatefer. After graduation, she will continue to work for the City of Raleigh (@raleighgov) Office of Sustainability as a Pathways to Public Service Fellow, following her passion in sustainability and climate action.
"Personal growth is not just seeking to learn more about what went right, it’s about reflecting on areas to improve and utilizing it to succeed in the future. It requires not only a willingness to accept feedback, but possessing the emotional intelligence to be self and socially aware. We can’t learn if we don’t reflect and we can’t grow if we don’t change.
However, I began to realize that my ability to grow was supported by the people around me. My parents and sister, the founders of the Kaitlyn Fan Club, who have been a constant source of inspiration and encouragement in my life. My professors who saw my passion for sustainability and leadership and gave me opportunities to grow as a person, leader, and member of the college. And finally, the College of Natural Resources, a unique community filled with passionate, compassionate, and motivated faculty and students." — @kaitlyn.odonnell___

Check out these "Earth Day Every Day" projects from students in ES 100: Introduction to Environmental Sciences. 🌎
These projects highlight quantifiable lifestyle changes and what this lifestyle change would look like on a campus-wide scale over a year long timeframe. Earlier this week, students and guests were able to view the digital media pieces in Hunt Library`s Teaching and Visualization Gallery and voted on their favorite presentations.
