Come Celebrate All Things CALS

Join us for CALS Alumni and Friends Weekend

A Game-Changing Great Time

Thanks to the extraordinary work and support of our alumni and friends, students, faculty and staff, CALS has a lot to howl about. We’re helping more of tomorrow’s agriculture and life science leaders find their path to an excellent education and career. We’re cutting ribbons and breaking ground on new, world-class facilities. We’re putting research and knowledge to work to improve North Carolina. And we’re hosting a weekend full of activities to celebrate.

Mark your calendar and make plans to join us Sept. 6 and 7.
