Our iconic red and white didn’t make their debut until?November 1895, a full six years after the university first opened its doors to students. ??NC State wasn’t always "NC State" either!?We began as the?North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (NC A&MA)?in 1889. The School was later renamed to North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering in 1917. Our current name,?North Carolina State University, came about in 1965 as the university expanded and formed multiple different professional colleges. ??And we weren’t always the Wolfpack!?It wasn’t until 1921 that the Wolfpack was officially born.?? Before that, our sports teams were represented by Tige, an English bulldog, and Togo, an American bulldog, who supported the baseball and football teams.???? ??Centennial Campus fun fact:?The very first building,?Research One, was constructed in 1988, marking the start of the impressive campus we know today. And, of course, we can’t forget the incredible?Hunt Library, named after James B. Hunt Jr., NC’s 69th and 71st Governor!?? Enjoy the rest of the semester, and let’s finish strong, Pack!??? #GoPack #NCState #FunFacts #Wolfpack
