NC State alumni across the country will volunteer in their communities on Oct. 24, 2009.

Check with the alumni network leader in your area about plans for National Wolfpack Service Day. If there’s not a project in the works, get started! Pick a cause and organize an alumni group to work together and show their Wolfpack pride on Oct. 24.

We can also help with ideas. E-mail Astra Barnes ‘03, director of outreach and engagement, at astra_barnes@ncsu.edu.
