Dear faculty and staff,
Fall commencement and winter break are right around the corner. As we prepare to say goodbye to 2023, we’re also getting ready to send 3,283 students out into the world as proud NC State graduates.
That includes 44 associate, 1,987 bachelor’s, 1,000 master’s and 380 doctoral degrees. With the 6,660 degrees NC State conferred last May, the university will award a total of 9,883 degrees in 2023.
In the midst of all of the celebrations taking place this time of year, it is important to take time to reflect on the lessons we’ve learned and everyone who has made an impact on our lives recently. I encourage you to share your thoughts on what you’ve learned this year, as well as your plans for 2024. If you’re interested in participating, please send a paragraph (or two) description, along with a high-resolution photo and your name, position and department to provost-communications@ncsu.edu by Monday, Jan. 8, 2024.
Thank you for making 2023 a year to remember for the entire Wolfpack family, and for keeping up our momentum as we head into 2024. I hope the holiday season is filled with family, friends, relaxation and time to make lots of memories.
If you’d like to know more about all of the academic happenings subscribe to our newsletter and follow @NCStateProvost on X (formerly Twitter).
Until next time,
Warwick Arden
Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost
