A cleaner, more useful natural environment, as a result of efforts by researchers at NC State University. Working with city officials, local industry and area farmers, our scientists have developed new methods to reduce sewage and animal waste from the water supply. And we’ve spearheaded a program that recycles wood pallets into flooring, saving trees and reducing landfills while creating jobs and fueling economic growth.

These groundbreaking achievements do more than bring acclaim and economic boosts to North Carolina – they truly affect people’s lives in relevant, powerful ways. NC State’s commitment to innovation creates a culture of excellence that spreads to every facet of the University, from unparalleled classroom and laboratory experiences to life-altering research to partnerships that create jobs.
