Share your voice. Share your vision: N.C. State University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is developing a strategic plan to guide the College’s future, and we hope to hear from you. Alumni, donors, students, parents, faculty and staff members – indeed, all people with an interest in the College – are invited to attend listening sessions that are being held across the state. During these sessions, you’ll talk, and we’ll listen. Your participation will help us as we build an exciting and dynamic future for our College and for the people we serve.
