The College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Multicultural Affairs office has facilitated the success of numerous students. Students have raised their GPAs, served as officers in university-wide organizations, and have assumed responsibility for being productive citizens. Alumni continue a tradition of excellence by earning graduate degrees and beginning careers. Alumni, now directing departments at Triangle corporations, reach out to the NC State College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences students. They serve as mentors and role models to these students, too.
