Brand Month kicks off!

To celebrate Brand Month… we have a special delivery on the way… 📦✨ a little mystery! Keep an eye out.

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 | 8:30 – 10 a.m. | Brand and Bagels: Fuel Your Knowledge

Coffee. Carbs. Clarity. (and a little competition 👀)

Join us for a fun, interactive session where we break down the NCSCaLE brand toolkit with bingo in play. As you learn how to bring the brand to life in your everyday work, you’ll mark off squares, test your knowledge and compete for bragging rights (and maybe a few prizes).

No long lectures. No fluff.
Just practical tips, real examples and a hands-on way to actually learn the brand.

Location: Lobby

Brand Camp: Brand Training – Registration Required

Pack your bags — Brand Camp is in session!

Join us for an interactive “Brand Camp” experience designed to bring the NC State Continuing and Lifelong Education brand to life in a way that’s practical, engaging, and easy to apply.

Through a series of rotating stations, you’ll work with colleagues on hands-on activities. Whether you’re new to the brand or looking for a refresher, you’ll leave with greater clarity, useful tools, and the confidence to show up consistently and on-brand in your everyday work. Pack your creativity, teamwork and energy — this is Brand Camp! (Registration required!)

Location: Room 8
