About Us

Who We Are

NCSU Dems is the main progressive group on NC State's campus and the official NC State chapter of the College Democrats of North Carolina (CDNC). 

College Democrats at NC State is an organization that advocates democratic principles by promoting service and involvement in our community. We aim to provide a safe place for students to share and develop their diverse political beliefs.

Governor Jim Hunt founded the NC State College Democrats organization. The College Democrats of NC State University are committed to advocating and promoting the Democratic Party at NC State University. Our proximity to North Carolina Democratic Party Headquarters and Raleigh provide us with a unique advantage to be involved in local, state, and national politics as activists and professionals, bringing about the changes this state and country need.
