Goal 7: Renowned Reputation

NC State continues to grow its internationally-recognized brand for innovation and purpose-driven problem solving. From academics to athletics, giving and more, our reputation and pursuit of excellence keeps climbing.

A Reputation for Excellence

The Think and Do brand is ubiquitous on our campus. A research-driven brand refresh is underway and helping ensure the brand’s finer points continue to resonate with the Wolfpack experience. We’re focused on marketing and social media improvements that share our story through high-quality engagements. This includes implementing modern marketing automation capabilities.

Our faculty, staff, students and alumni provide plenty of good news to tell. We’re recognized as one of the nation’s highest producers of Fulbright Scholars. We bring world-renowned speakers to Raleigh. We produce national champions in the classroom and on the courts and fields.
