Outreach and engagement

Besides research and innovation, the mission of a land grant university is to translate/extend findings and inventions to the community. Here we highlight outreach and engagement with communities local and global (some prior to NC State) with an emphasis on the Collaboration and Exchange with Researchers in Africa (CERA) under the NSF-STC Center for Complex particle systems (COMPASS).
