NC State: What two billion dollars will do

Chancellor Randy Woodson knows what NC State University’s successful “Think and Do the Extraordinary” campaign means for the university. When Woodson arrived at NC State in 2010, he saw a glaring need to deepen its endowment. And the University set its sights on $1.6 billion for the “Think and Do” campaign. It met that goal two years early, in December 2019. In the end – and in the midst of a global pandemic, no less – NC State raised $2,103,932,120 from nearly 130,000 donors from all 100 North Carolina counties, 50 states and 73 countries.
