At the state’s largest land-grant university, NC State Stewards are catalysts for transformation. These student ambassadors for sustainability are forward-thinkers who realize everyday sustainable actions can and must change the world.
Future Wolfpack generations depend on the sustainable actions of today’s students. That’s why NC State Stewards promote sustainable practices among their peers and the community through workshops, presentations and campus events. But most importantly, NC State Stewards are role models for other students, inspiring the campus community to consider the impact their decisions have on the environment, community and the future.
