From the Dean

At the Poole College of Management, we bring together the best of our university to serve industry and society.

We are deeply rooted in NC State’s history as a university that excels at science, technology, engineering and math. Since the founding of our college in 1992, we have tapped intellectual resources across the university to develop business leaders with an entrepreneurial mindset and analytical problem-solving skills who make meaningful contributions to our global economy.

Our college is built on excellence in teaching and impactful research in an environment of diverse cultures, ideas and insights. We extend this vision into the world by developing our students’ ethical awareness and fostering their career success as they contribute to local and global economic development.

But we can’t achieve our mission without your support. It’s the multitude of gifts — no matter the size — that enable us to create and sustain an innovative, collaborative environment that fosters, develops and supports leaders who make a difference. In the coming weeks, we will be sharing more information about our upcoming Day of Giving, March 27. By #GivingPack, we’ll show the world what we can do when we come together. Save the date and be a part of something extraordinary.

This Winter 2019 issue of Poole Business celebrates Poole College students by shining a light on a few examples of the extraordinary work our nearly 4,000 undergraduate and graduate management students are doing in our university, local business and global communities.

It is my privilege to share with you these stories of Poole College. We are proud of our college and hope you enjoy learning about our experiences. This is how we think and do at NC State.
