The Dorothy and Roy Park Alumni Center on Centennial Campus is celebrating its 20th birthday! The building of this facility was led by a generous gift from Dorothy Park in honor of her late husband, NC State alumnus Roy H. Park ('31).

And of course, the Park Foundation also established the Park program. We're grateful for all they have done for NC State!

The Dorothy and Roy Park Alumni Center on Centennial Campus opened in 2006 as a gathering place, event space and dedicated home base for NC State Alumni, given by the generosity of those who had great affection for their alma mater.
