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.

Student Organizations

With more than 30 student groups in the college — including clubs, national organizations and affinity groups — there are many ways to get involved and find your place here.

Meet JT Moore, a #PoolePack senior studying accounting and finance. 🐺🐾 JT is from Lutherville, MD! He is president of @poole_studentambassadors! 👏

“I chose Poole because I was able to start taking business classes as soon as I walked in the doors my freshman year and discover my academic interests early. I could also tell that the professors and advisors within Poole were dedicated to my growth and provided unique opportunities tailored to myself. Finally, I have been able to take advantage of the Poole-specific career and global services over my four years to make the most of my college experience.”
