Packways HIE Scavenger Hunt

This isn’t just a scavenger hunt — it’s the first step in building a college experience that’s hands-on, curiosity-driven and 100% yours.

The Packways HIE Scavenger Hunt invites new first-year and transfer students to explore campus and meet the offices behind NC State’s High-Impact Experiences (HIEs). Students will collect stickers and signatures at each stop on their official Packways Passport journey and earn prizes upon completion.
