Each year, the Alumni Association celebrates the winners of the College Distinguished Alumni Awards, the Wolfpack Club's Ronnie Shavlik Award and the Alumni Association Awards at the Evening of Stars Gala.

The awardees have excelled in their careers, made a difference in their communities and given back to their alma mater. They are given red-carpet treatment during an awards ceremony at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, which is usually held on the last Friday in January.


The gala attracts about 300 attendees, including university leaders and members of the Board of Trustees, the Board of Visitors, the NC State Foundation and the Alumni Association Board of Directors.
