What does a concert venue look like before opening night? Our students just found out. 👀

They toured the new Red Hat Amphitheater construction site, getting a behind-the-scenes look at the artist suites, main stage, ticket booth and step-down seating. 🎶

Our students saw formwork, rebar placement for a concrete pour and the steel framing of the main stage. They even learned that engineers sloped certain roofs to deflect sound from the railroad tracks behind the stage.

"It`s always great to be on a site and see what you`re learning in class applied to real, impactful projects," student Rachel Dawson said.

A beach day with a purpose! 🏖️❤️

Our students with @copri_ncsu recently traveled to Wilmington to participate in @asbpassoc`s National Beach Sweep, collecting around 25 pounds of waste!

"Collaborations like this give us the opportunity to connect with fellow coastal students, strengthen partnerships and work together to protect the coastlines we study and care about," said Roya Sahraei, graduate research assistant.

Proud of our students for leading the way in coastal conservation! 🌊🙌
