Welcome to NC State!

As your Orientation Leaders (OLs), we want you to know how excited we are that you decided to join our family and start your journey as part of the Wolfpack! Take it from us, the next years of your life as an NC State student are going to be memorable, challenging, and incredibly rewarding.

The Orientation Leader team is here to help you navigate your way to a successful start. Each of us had an experience as a new student at NC State and know what it’s like to come into such a large community. NC State may feel overwhelming at first, but we have each made this place our home and can help you do the same.

It’s important that you make the most of your Orientation experience, so that you walk away feeling prepared and excited to begin your journey at NC State. We’re here to help you do that, but it starts with you! Our advice is to ask lots of questions, reach out to other new students, and start making your bucket list of what you want to experience and accomplish over the next four years.

Above all, we want you to know that we decided to be Orientation Leaders because we love this University. We love the Belltower, we wear red on Fridays, and we sing the alma mater loud and proud! Get ready to Think and Do, and congratulations on your decision to join the Pack!
