In college, there are a huge number of ways to get involved, and these opportunities will arrive in formal and informal ways.

Some of the areas students identified as important include:

• Leadership development and opportunities–including opportunities available at NC State while enrolled and through academic colleges
• Civic engagement and voting–civic participation, registering to vote, and finding information needed
