Speaking of the greater NC State community, hopefully everyone is planning to bring canned food with them to Saturday’s men’s basketball game vs. Georgia Tech! We may not always win on the court, but NC State always wins at community service… Too cheesy? It’s true, though, that NC State emphasizes service, and I’m glad the university is letting Student Government and CSLEPS host this awesome fundraiser at the game.

Look for the volunteers collecting cans when you walk in (you won’t be able to miss us!) GO PACK, BOO YELLOW JACKETS!

However, community service is not the only thing we do well here at State – just yesterday, the Princeton Review and USA Today named NC State as the #9 best public-college value IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. According to the article, the rankings are based on a university’s ability to provide an outstanding education at an affordable price. Check out the article here.
