“At NC State, I have not only learned what I want to do with my career, but I have found myself as a person. I have been a Student Alumni Association Ambassador for the past 3 years, where I have been able to play a huge part in keeping traditions here at NC State, and fostering the Wolfpack spirit on campus. I am so grateful for all of the memories and friends! I have been able to give so much back to the place that has given so much to me.” —Ashlin Austin ’25, @NCStateCHASS #NCState25 #HowlBack

“To be graduating with my bachelor’s of social work in just 3 years, 4.0 GPA and debt-free all are nothing short of testimony after testimony. All proof of a God who has never failed me, and a reality that He has heard every prayer — especially those whispered faithfully by my mother long before I understood the weight of them.
Looking back, I see the hand that sustained me, the goodness that followed me, and the love that kept me. Yet, beyond the grades, accolades and internships — the sweetest part of the journey has been deeper friendship with Him. Being able to do it all with Him and for His glory.
The entire journey has been a reflection of this verse [Psalms 23:6]. And still, I know He’s only just begun. Thank you, Jesus. Oh… and master’s in social work coming soon.” —Bethel Chanyalew ’25, @ncstatechass #NCState25 #HowlBack 🎓🐺

“College taught me so much about who I am and who I’m becoming. Between late nights in the library, finding my voice in Phi Psi, and the growth that came from studying abroad, I’ve changed in ways I never expected. I’m leaving with more than a degree. I’m leaving with confidence, clarity and so much gratitude for the people and moments that shaped me.” —Sarah Harte ’25, @ncstatewilson #NCState25 #HowlBack
