Wolfpack Harvest


Wolfpack Harvest is a fall tradition designed to bring together alumni, students, faculty, and friends of CALS—not just in Raleigh, but wherever the Pack calls home.

Celebrate What We Grow Together

Rooted in the spirit of gathering and gratitude, Wolfpack Harvest brings alumni, students, families, and friends together to celebrate the NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. On September 19, 2026 thousands of the CALS Pack joined five, family-friendly events across the state to share stories, celebrate your journeys, and reconnect with the Pack.

From lawn games and live entertainment to interactive exhibits and behind-the-scenes tours, there’s something for everyone — family, friends, and alumni alike. This signature CALS event in Raleigh brought together departments and programs from across the college to showcase their groundbreaking research, academic excellence, and community impact. At four locations across the state, alumni joined the fun at their local NC State Extension centers, participating in a live stream of the event remarks from Raleigh.

A $10 million gift from NC State alumnus David Peele will give students from eastern North Carolina the opportunity to attend NC State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences with the full cost of attendance covered – and spend four years immersed in the research, mentorship and experiences preparing them to lead the future of agriculture.

The Peele Scholars Fund will support five incoming first-year students in its first cohort in fall 2027, with a focus on students from 39 eastern North Carolina counties.
