Pack the Neighborhood: Community Cleanup

Mark your calendars for our inaugural Pack the Neighborhood event on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Join us and Civic and Community Engagement as we take the Wolfpack beyond campus and into the surrounding neighborhoods to clean up local streets and shared spaces. Participants will receive free lunch, snacks, and water. Sign up today!

National Night Out

Join the NC State University Police Department on October 6, 2026 from National Night Out, a community-focused event that brings together law enforcement, students, families and community members in a fun and welcoming environment. The event will include free food, games and activities, police and emergency vehicles, safety demonstrations and community resources. The goal is to build stronger relationships between the Police Department and the community while also highlighting safety, wellness and available resources. Stop by the Western Blvd. Business Services Center (1220 Varsity Drive) from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

University Housing Room Selection

Interested in living on campus next year? Campus can still be home and returning is simpler than you might think. While space for returning upperclassmen isn’t guaranteed, historical trends show that students who participate in the room selection process and remain on the waitlist have been offered on-campus housing. We offer flexibility with nine-month housing agreements and summer options without hidden fees.

Stop by the Housing Fair on Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Stafford Commons to find the space that fits your pace! At the University Housing table, you can swipe to enter to win one of the first selection times during the Room Selection process!

Be Hurricane Ready

No, we aren’t talking about the hockey team! Being prepared for the annual hurricane season is important, so review your emergency plan, stock up on essentials, and stay informed about weather alerts.
