Do any of these sound familiar . . .

• I think everyone else has already made friends and “met their quota” of friends for the year.
• I felt connected in high school, but it has been years since I had to make new friends.
• I go home every weekend because I am homesick.
• I am not sure I will ever fit in at NC State.

If so, join others at “First-Year Student Connect” Tuesday afternoons from 4:30-5:30.  All first-year students are encouraged to stop by the Counseling Center – no appointment necessary.  Come make some new friends!

Are you interested in undergraduate research? Getting lab experience?

The NCSU Research PackTrack Program is a research program for freshmen students. While in the program, you have the opportunity to gain research skills, conduct guided research in an authentic research lab, and complete an independent research project. You can enter the program during the second semester of your freshman year (first-semester sophomore students may enter with permission), and get major elective credit. This is a fantastic opportunity to get real research experience early on in your college career!

Come to our info session! October 13th at 6:30pm in Bostian Hall 2722 (downstairs lecture hall behind main stair well)  *Snacks provided*
