Alumni

Membership in NC State's WolfPack doesn't end at graduation.

We are Family

The connections formed through our degree programs don’t end at graduation. Our alumni continue to benefit from deep friendships and an extensive professional network long after they leave here.

PMB alumni have a variety ways to stay connected to the department and to NC State. We have many opportunities for our alumni to stay connected and involved in the department, and we hope all our alumni stay in touch!
