Ten Years of the Makerspace
Esports National Championship | State Fair Exhibit | Libraries Fellows at 25Focus Magazine Fall 2025 - Volume 36, Number 2
Welcome to the latest edition of FOCUS, the official magazine of the NC State University Libraries. In this issue, we celebrate ten years of the Makerspace program at the Libraries. From its beginnings as a service point at the Hunt Library to the robust, multi-faceted program it is today, the Makerspace has continued to grow to support the ever-changing creative spirit of NC State.
Other FOCUS features include the Esports National Championships at the Hunt Library, the Libraries exhibit celebrating the North Carolina State Fair, and a look at the Research Facilitation Service and the Data Science Consulting Program. We also look back at our celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Libraries Fellows Program.
