NC State alumni, family and friends gather annually at the Return to Raleigh Picnic in Portland, Oregon, to enjoy North Carolina-style barbecue. One of the Alumni Association’s longest-running annual events, the picnic celebrated its 19th year in 2019. Alumni Association staff travel from Raleigh to provide campus updates and fun NC State giveaways.
