Shaping our Future

The impact and success of our current faculty and students is made possible through the accomplishments of our alumni. ELPHD graduates have a passion for making genuine advances in their workplaces, as well as through their lasting connections with NC State. It shows in their ongoing support and the contacts they maintain long after graduation as they inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

Although the ELPHD department is part of NC State’s larger university setting, we maintain the feel of a small college, complete with the strong support systems needed to ensure our students’ current and post-graduate success. Through the generous donations and contributions by our alumni and friends, we are able to focus on cutting-edge research and providing crucial graduate fellowship and scholarship opportunities.

Consider expanding the influence of your time at NC State through a yearly gift, by creating a scholarship or joining the Dean’s Circle. Staying engaged with the ELPHD department is one of the many perks to being a Wolfpack member for life.
