Embracing Our Brand

The NC State brand is a reflection of your powerful work and our shared mission to enrich lives and grow our state. Throughout NC State, we have a common identity and drive to Think and Do.

Our success in building a truly impactful brand identity among our stakeholders is contingent upon how well we all understand the principles and standards of the brand — and how consistently we apply them. (View the Chancellor’s Letter)
