Building on the legacy of NC State Chancellor John T. Caldwell, the Caldwell Fellows program invests in students selected during their first year at NC State who share a passion for learning, growing, and serving others. The Caldwell Fellows program challenges scholars to “Think BIG” and facilitates the goal of maximizing the college experience by providing intensive programming and leadership training and fostering collaborative interaction with alumni, faculty, and community partners.
“You just don’t know how magnificent you might be. Think big! Think big about your possibilities in this world.”
John T. Caldwell
Former NC State Chancellor, 1959-1975

Sydney Jett, Caldwell Fellows class of 2025, used her Experiential Learning Grant to study abroad in South Korea and develop skills she didn’t know she’d develop if she hadn’t gone overseas. “I learned to further appreciate the journey challenges bring and the practice of principled reflection." One of our values in the Caldwell Fellows is principled reflection and we are so happy we could support Sydney’s growth through the generous donations from Day of Giving. Let`s create more unforgettable experiences. https://dayofgiving.ncsu.edu/organizations/ncstate-caldwell-fellows-fund #caldwellfellows #experientiallearning #givingpack
