Student Life
Students in Poole College can take advantage of a wide variety of opportunities to find community and make the most of their NC State experience.
You Belong Here
Poole College is home to a thriving community of undergraduate students who connect with one another, enjoy their passions and build their resumes through student organizations, events, service opportunities, social activities and more. There’s a place for everyone here, and we can help you find it.
To meet new friends while gaining the experience in teamwork, leadership and organization that future employers love to see, join one or more of the college’s more than 30 student organizations. And if you want to connect with students outside the college, NC State has hundreds of student organizations focused on everything from a cappella to zoology.
Our community values diverse backgrounds and wants to create an inclusive atmosphere for all. Whether it’s through joining in on one of our heritage month events or hanging out in the Inclusion Hub — a gathering space in Nelson Hall — you can meet other students who are like you and learn more about those who aren’t.

Meet Nina Magee, a rising #PoolePack junior studying business administration. 🐺🐾 This summer she has an internship at Siemens. 👏
Siemens is a German tech company that does everything from switch gears to electrical charging!
“My position is on the Business Excellence team, where I engineer better business solutions. I identify areas that need improvement and create and implement plans to fill them. Everyday looks different for me and it is a very fast-pace environment, lots of last-minute pivoting! It has been really amazing working along side engineers and NC State engineering students, as a business major I had not been exposed to engineering previously! Siemens has offered me lots of room for growth and I love their mission and culture. I highly recommend for any comsci, business, or engineering students!”
