NC State is proud of its land-grant roots, but being a public university doesn’t mean our only funding comes from the state of North Carolina. It takes the commitment of our entire Pack to help us create dynamic new approaches to teaching and learning, fuel industries and breakthroughs, and guide our students to impactful post-graduate lives.

Episode 19: Extraordinary Entrepreneurship With Andy Albright
On this episode of the NC State Philanthropy Podcast, we’re joined by Andy Albright, an NC State alumnus, donor and board member, to discuss why he supports his alma mater and what kind of difference he’s making. Albright graduated from the Wilson College of Textiles in 1986 and has gone on to become a successful entrepreneur, businessman, motivational speaker and author. He has also generously given back to the university via his work on various NC State committees including the Alumni Entrepreneurs Network, the Campaign Cabinet for the university’s recent Think and Do the Extraordinary Campaign and, currently, the Entrepreneurship Initiative Advisory Board.
Alongside his wife, Jane, Albright has made financial contributions to help advance efforts across campus, especially through gifts to Wolfpack Athletics and the Shelton Leadership Center, with NC State Innovation and Entrepreneurship remaining a particularly passionate focus. The Albrights’ giving supports the Albright Entrepreneurs Village, which is NC State’s living and learning community for student entrepreneurs, and the Albright Entrepreneurship Garage, which serves as a hub for students across campus to come together and explore their entrepreneurial ideas and interests. These Centennial Campus sites are extraordinary representations of the emphasis Andy Albright places on helping other Wolfpack entrepreneurs Think and Do.
