NC State & UNC Pantry Bowl Collaboration
In anticipation of the upcoming pantry bowl in collaboration with UNC Chappel Hill, I posted this reminder to get the families of NC State students excited about the amazing opportunity to give back. It’s that time of year again when the NC State Wolfpack and UNC Tarheels compete to donate the most to our campus food pantries. Over the last three years, nearly $450,000 has been raised to address food insecurity on our college campuses.

Our cross-departmental plant swap was a huge success! Thank you to the 100+ people who showed up to exchange cuttings and healthy plant babies! The UNC Biochemistry and Biophysics graduate student-led social committee did a great job of planning, setting-up, promoting, and hosting the event.
