Every summer, the NC State campus comes alive with an influx of campers from all over the country, and some from even farther. They\u2019re here to do everything from studying nano-fibers to designing buildings and dissecting pig hearts. And many of them will become so engrossed in their activities, they\u2019ll decide to join the Wolfpack when it\u2019s time go to college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
