Hanson HaoI enjoy living in a village

because I am able to be close to people with the same

interests. Its being grouped with a bunch of people with

common goals that allows me to be academically and

socially successful.

Joshua De JoyaOne of the greatest parts of the Impact Leadership Village (ILV) is the community. I am surrounded by individuals who want to improve not just our own community, but to extend and enhance the NC State community as well. These individuals are not just members of my community, but they are also some of my closest friends. ILV has forever changed my experience at NC State.
