We expect Fellows to broaden their knowledge of the world through exposure to everything from folk culture to fine art. That's not hard, given the resources of the campus and the Raleigh area. NC State's education curricula focus on preparation for middle and secondary school teaching. Double majors are encouraged and easy to arrange. Each Fellow is assured on-campus housing all four years.
Freshmen live in an air-conditioned residence hall, only a few steps from the dining hall.
A popular feature with all students, there is cable access to the Internet in every room. Frequent contact among Sibs guarantees a smooth transition to college life. Support from advisers is critically important, so students make their first contact with outstanding faculty at Freshmen Orientation in June. For four years, student and advisor are partners in monitoring progress towards academic and career goals. To round out the curriculum, the director works closely with Teaching Fellows' officers and committee chairs to structure a total campus experience that enriches the overall program.
