Social Media
Weâve constructed one of the most robust centers for social media strategy in all of higher education.
Social Intelligence
Social media experts across campus come together in NC State’s Social Media Strategy Hub: a collaborative, analytically driven workspace â housed in University Communications and Marketing â where good ideas compound and great social content thrives.
We thoughtfully leverage social platforms to strengthen NC Stateâs brand and tell the Wolfpackâs stories, we maintain the universityâs official social media accounts, and we empower units across campus to run their own channels more effectively.

As the COO of @Apple, Jeff Williams oversaw the development of the Apple Watch. But before he worked at one of the worldâs biggest tech companies, he studied mechanical engineering at @NCStateEngr. Filmed in the Bay Area in front of a live audience of @NCStateAlumni, Chancellor Randy Woodson talks with Williams about innovation and the importance of experiential learning in this episode of Red Chair Chats.
âI think there has to be this continual pulling on threads of ideas and kernels of ideas, and with that, you have to sometimes push past the rational and the practical,â Williams said. âYou have to sometimes suspend disbelief and let ideas percolate.â
