Life is better with your Pack. 🐺🎓🫶

“Completing my master’s in management, risk analytics while working full-time has been one of the most challenging and most rewarding experiences of my life. Balancing both pushed me to grow in ways I didn’t expect — and what made this journey even more meaningful was sharing it with my brother, who is finishing his finance degree at NC State.

We leaned on each other through the tough moments, traded advice, and motivated one another to keep moving forward.

I’m walking away not only with a degree, but with perspective, resilience and deep gratitude. A heartfelt thank you to my program directors and counselor for their guidance and support from start to finish.“ — Nhung Truong, @ncstatepoole ‘25
