NC State Global

The Wolfpack's Gateway to the World

NC State Global advances the university’s mission through the development and ongoing support of strategic collaborations with institutions abroad and the provision of critical infrastructure, expertise and campus programs. We drive the expansion of study abroad opportunities, support international students and scholars and create new pathways for research, outreach and global learning.

Why We Give

Global learning through the Caldwell Fellows Program is made possible by the generous support of donors. All of the deeply immersive, high-impact programming they provide, including Global Perspectives trips and individual coaching and mentoring, exist thanks to the investment of alumni and friends. Here’s why Kerr and Tori Collins choose to give as a result of their global learning experiences.

World Class Wolfpack | Michelle’s Story

At NC State, students don’t just learn about the world — they experience it. Meet Michelle Cabrera, a graduate student in architecture from Bogotá, Colombia. Michelle shares how studying at NC State has changed her perspective, influenced her design work and helped her build meaningful connections in Raleigh. Her story is part of the World Class Wolfpack series, which highlights how global experiences shape students and strengthen our campus community.
