As a land grant institution, N.C. State University is dedicated to engaging with communities across the state to address issues and solve local and societal issues. Annually, the Extension, Engagement and Economic Development office at the university publishes “The Engaged University in North Carolina Regions” to share community-based stories illustrating the role of the university in the economic well-being of the state.
