Ncsu's vision is: "In order to meet the needs of Honshu Island and society for education, economic development and quality of life, we will give full play to the three functions of schools assigned by the government: teaching, research and extended education. The world-famous research triangle park is a triangle composed of three famous universities: North Carolina State University in Raleigh, Duke University Medical College in Durham and University of North Carolina Medical College in Chapel Hill. Covering an area of 7,000 mu, it has a history of 40 years since its establishment. At present, biotechnology is the focus of development.
However, because the Triangle Research Park is no longer enough for technology companies, the North Carolina government allocated 1 0,000 acres of land to the school near 1988 to plan the development of the century-old campus. It is characterized by mixed school teaching and research, as well as R&D parks of companies and enterprises, integrating research rooms, entrepreneurial buildings and breeding centers. This park enables students receiving higher education to increase their employment opportunities after graduation, because they have the environment to experience and apply scientific research and development.
Ncsu is famous for its unique red brick building and bell tower, and it is the symbol of North Carolina State University. Designed at 1920, it was established in memory of alumni who died in World War I. Due to the difficulty in raising funds caused by the Great Depression in the late 1920s, the main part of the bell tower was not built until 1937. Due to the influence of World War II, the whole project was not completed until 1949, with a height of 35 meters. The architectural design adopts the European Roman era and Gothic style.
Since 1959, triangle research parks have been established in Raleigh, Hande and Chapel Hill. There are biotechnology centers (under the state government), breeding centers, research and development centers and service centers in the park. It not only attracts many large enterprises to set up R&D units here and set up factories nearby for production, but also attracts a large number of high-tech talents to work in parks and universities, with more than 42,000 employees, which is the region with the highest doctoral population density in the United States.
There are about 2,200 international students, more than 500 international professors or researchers, and hundreds of international visiting scholars from more than 100 countries. This multicultural teaching, research and learning environment makes the University of North Carolina a truly international university.
At present, the school has more than 40 official international student and scholar organizations, including the Chinese Federation of Students and Scholars, the European Federation of Students and Scholars, the Spanish Federation of Engineering Scholars, and the Turkish Federation of Students and Scholars. The school also attaches great importance to cultural exchange activities between international students and the United States and between international students. The school has set up an international service center and an international affairs center, which are responsible for international exchanges and exchanges. The International Service Center also organizes and holds many international cultural, customs, economic and language exchange activities, such as cultural groups (students from many different countries get together, some of them give speeches and introduce their country's history, culture, music and economy, and then we discuss them together, etc. ); International friendship program (international students communicate with local families in the United States one-on-one, and taste traditional American cuisine or China cuisine together to enhance mutual understanding); Bread breaking activities (international students have dinner and chat with American students or families, etc.) ).
The University of North Carolina has a project exchange and cooperation relationship with more than 900 universities around the world, which provides teachers and students with a large number of opportunities to study and research in different countries. Such as: ◆ Antigua Summer Project ◆ China: Forestry and Environmental Resources Summer Project ◆ Florence Summer Project ◆ Prague College? Construction Project ◆ Singapore Management University Project ◆ isep: Chinese University of Hong Kong Project.
In addition, each department has its own different international exchange activities. For example, the College of Natural Resources organizes environmental inspection activities in developing countries every year, which gives students of the department the opportunity to visit and inspect the environment and culture of different countries every year; International agricultural investigation activities of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, etc.
