"What does it feel like to wear the Red Robe?" We brought members of #NCState18 into our studio and asked them to try on their cap and gown and look in the mirror. Then we asked them the question, off the cuff, "how does it feel?" Here's what @NCStatePooleMgt grad Laasya Vulimiri (@whatabossislaas) had to say, unfiltered. 
And a statement on the impact she leaves behind at NC State: "One of my legacies at NC State revolves around people. I came into Poole College of Management my freshman year, and I had a peer leader who was there for me as a mentor to help me through my first year of college both academically and socially.

I was so impacted by that individual that I decided to join the organization myself, and I’ve been involved for the past two years. Through this organization, I’ve been able pay it forward and to mentor others. 
One of the quotes we live by here is ‘for the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack’. I think through the peer leader organization, I’ve really been able to embody that phrase, and support members of the Wolfpack when they may be having a hard time, especially in their first year, because it can be overwhelming with so many people on campus.

That organization has really touched me, because I feel like I’ve been able to make people feel more supported and welcome at NC State."
