About Us

The Environmental Student Association at NC State (ESA) is a student club and nonprofit established and run by NC State students. The purpose of ESA is to promote environmental awareness and protection on North Carolina State University’s campus and within its colleges. ESA strives to connect with other universities, students, and Wake County residents interested in preserving natural resources in order to stimulate environmental support domestically and internationally. Although environmental advocacy is strongly encouraged, ESA, as a 501(C)3 nonprofit, cannot significantly influence legislation as part of its activities and/or participate in campaign activity for or against political candidates or else its nonprofit status will be revoked.

Additionally, members of this organization plan and lead environmental initiatives at NC State University, Wake County, and beyond. In addition to planning and executing environmental projects, ESA members also organize professional development activities such as job fairs and professional workshops.

If you are interested in joining ESA please contact envstudentassoc@ncsu.edu or follow us on the linked social media accounts for more information! We have bi-weekly meetings on Thursday evenings in Mann Hall Room 304 from 7-8pm so please come out and join us! All students are welcome.
