Celebrating the Spring 2021 Graduates of Online and Distance Education
This year’s NC State Online and Distance Education (ODE) graduates have pursued their degrees with resilience as they balanced their educational, professional and personal lives in the midst of a pandemic.
We touched base with some of the graduates to hear stories about their experiences in their programs and the highlights of earning their degrees. Their journeys and accomplishments to advance their education will make differences that stretch far beyond NC State’s campus. Their degrees will make positive impacts and lead the way as the Online Pack around the world.
