Test Ground

At NC State, our students Think and Do beyond the classroom. Getting the most from an NC State education means connecting academic work with real-world applications and experiences outside of class, and integrating new knowledge with future plans. High Impact Experiences (HIEs) are immersive, sustained, mentored experiences that include critical reflection to help students make these connections and prepare for their careers. HIEs that meet high standards can become Packways Recognized.
