New Graduate Student Orientation
Fall 2025 New Graduate Student Orientation will be held in-person at the McKimmon Center on August 15. Students with the last name of A-L will attend the morning session from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. Students with the last name of M-Z will attend the afternoon session from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. The information fair will be from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and is open to all incoming students.
All newly enrolled graduate students will receive an email with full details on June 18. The following students DO NOT attend in-person orientation and, therefore, will not get the June 18 email: MBA, MAC, distance, and certificate students.
A separate email will be sent in mid-August with details of the asynchronous online portion of new student orientation. The asynchronous online portion is open to ALL graduate students and is not available until August 16.

A special thank you to members of the #GradPack that represented for NC State during this year’s Graduate Education Day at the NC General Assembly. Graduate students Aliyah Jackson (Ph.D. in Crop Science), Shubham Rawat (Ph.D. in Power Electronics and Power Systems) and Madeline Stallard (Ph.D. in Science Education) discussed with lawmakers the impact of graduate education during the annual legislative visit coordinated by the the NC Council of Graduate Schools #NCCGS 🐺 A howling thank you to the many legislators and #wolfpack alumni for their time today. @ncstatecals @ncstateengr @ncstateced
