About

NC State magazine is published quarterly by the NC State Alumni Association. Our mission? We tell the stories that keep alumni and friends of NC connected to the university. Our campus news may come from a research lab, a football field, a dean’s office or a classroom, and our alumni profiles feature NC State graduates who are making a difference in their hometowns or around the world.  

The magazine has been consistently recognized as a top alumni publication by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), winning the Gold award for best magazine in the Southeast in 2020. 

NC State is mailed to more than 20,000 alumni and friends of the university. 

The magazine is a benefit of membership.

The print edition of NC State magazine is published quarterly and mailed to Alumni Association members. To receive the print version, become a member today.
