What's Up On Campus
Bike to Work Day May 20
May is National Bike Month! Celebrate with us by biking to NC State on May 20. We'll have a pit stop at the Bell Tower from 7-9 a.m. with swag like free bike lights, KIND bars, and more. Check out the event on Facebook.
WolfTrails membership/permit renewals
It's almost time for a new academic year, and that means new WolfTrails memberships. Carpoolers, transit riders, bicyclists, and walkers to campus need to renew their membership/permits for 2022-23. We'll send out a reminder email in June with instructions once registration opens.
