About This Exhibit

Leading the Pack: Student Leaders at NC State explores a rich cultural tradition that encourages students to act on what they are learning. This alchemy of participation and involvement has produced an unusually large number of citizens who began their lives of service to the university and to the wider community while students at NC State. 

The exhibit draws on the rich trove of materials collected by the NC State University Libraries’ Student Leadership Initiative. This ongoing, multi-year program has chronicled the experiences and impact of former student leaders through the collection of hundreds of video oral histories, biographical essays, and digitized images.  Visit the website.

Kelly Hook, student body president, 2010-11.
