There are multiple ways to engage with the Department of English.
English Club
The English Club is a student-run organization that is open to all NC State students who have an interest in English. The club’s bi-monthly meetings include social and educational events. Some academic topics include graduate school, creative writing, publishing, and film discussions. Social events have included a Halloween party, St. Patrick’s Day celebration, ice cream social, and coffee meet-and-greets.
