Think and Do With Us Welcome to NC State: a leading public university where creativity meets opportunity.

Our campus community cultivates a culture of innovation and ambition, empowering students to turn their passions into impactful enterprises. As an undergraduate student in fashion and textile management, Meredith Howell '23 made a name for herself designing custom-wear for celebrities and professional athletes. This led to her designs being featured in Vogue and sold at an official New York Fashion Week event. Now, the young entrepreneur is using skills she developed in the classroom to build her brand, Maison de Leflare. Learn more about this student success story at go.ncsu.edu/meredith-howell.
