Formed in 2018 by the NC State Engineering Foundation, the Young Alumni Advisory Board (YAAB) consists of NC State alumni who are fewer than 15 years post-graduation from their last degree earned. The program was created to encourage support from the growing population of College of Engineering young alumni, many of whom are thrilled to have a way to stay connected to the Wolfpack.
“I’m very excited to get involved with the Young Alumni Advisory Board to help give back to the university that molded me into who I am today,” said Maggie Wilbanks, who majored in mechanical engineering and graduated in 2012.
Wilbanks is the only new YAAB member to have graduated in 2012, making her the furthest out from her degree. Abby Lampe, a former industrial and systems engineering major, graduated most recently, in 2022. Lampe is now a financial services associate with a focus on payments at PwC.
This year, new members of YAAB represent four departments: biomedical engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, industrial and systems engineering, and chemical and biomolecular engineering. Caroline Baldauff, who graduated in 2021, is an industrial and systems engineering grad who remains connected to NC State through Stat Crew for women’s basketball.
“I’m thrilled to extend that connection by serving fellow and future alumni on the Young Alumni Advisory Board,” said Baldauff. “Go Pack!”
