With the support of donors like you, NC State Alumni can provide the experiences that keep us connected and thriving long after leaving campus. A gift to the Alumni Impact Fund helps alumni succeed at every stage.

Your gift is a way to give back to the place that helped shape you and to make your mark on the future of our community. When the Pack comes together, every gift matters.

Support the Alumni Impact Fund

Your support on Day of Giving will:

• Cultivate transformative leadership experiences that prepare students to lead with confidence and purpose.
• Create meaningful opportunities for alumni and friends to connect, building community through regional and affinity engagement.
• Provide personalized career coaching and professional development that empowers alumni at every stage of their journey.

Let’s make our mark on the future of the Pack — together. Join us March 25 to invest in student leadership, alumni connection and lifelong success through NC State.

An Account of Impact

Sandy Barnes gives because her family loves NC State. That love extends beyond academics — it includes athletics, student organizations and the overall spirit of the university.

The Wolfpack Way

It’s a Wolfpack story 100 years in the making, and it all started when Kenneth Winston Sr. attended NC State and graduated with the class of 1926.
That was five generations ago. Fast forward to 2025 when Helen Phifer ’85 got the call inviting her to Legacy Luncheon.
