There’s always a Pack behind you, #NCState26. 🐺👏 “Soon to be the first engineer in my family, and I didn’t get here alone. NC State gave me more than a degree. It gave me a foundation. One built in the @ncstateccee department through classes that humbled me, professors who pushed me, and coursework that shaped how I think in systems and lead with intention. Through organizations like SHPE and ALPFA, I found community — and eventually, a responsibility to create it for others. I had the honor of helping revive ALPFA NC State into a space where Latino students feel seen, supported, and connected to real opportunities. The dream was never just to graduate. It was to build something that outlasts me. Thank you, NC State. The work is just getting started. GO PACK‼️” — Alberto Herrera, @ncstateengr ‘26
