It’s that time of year again! 🐺🐾🎈🎓

“I’m Hailey and I’m graduating with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Marketing with a minor in cross-disciplinary leadership! I was an exploratory student freshman year and transferred into Poole College of Management and I’m so happy I did. I have had so many amazing experiences from class in Nelson 3400 to studying abroad in France for international business strategy! I am so grateful for my time at NC State and in Poole College. Go Pack forever!” ❤️
