Can we get a little commotion for our first group of Textile Pioneer Scholars?!
The Textile Pioneers Scholarship was founded to support students from rural areas of the state who have a strong interest in the textile industry. Our first group of graduates are ready to make their marks with their degrees in hand.
Read about their experiences at #NCStateWilson and what life after graduation will look like for them at the link in our bio.
Step into a rivet-ing day in the life of a leathersmithing intern!
From raw hides to handcrafted pieces, our FTD ‘26 student Amelia Boys is learning the ropes one stitch at a time!
Don’t forget to tag us @ncstatewilson in your internship pics. We’d love to see what you’re up to this summer!
