The Thomas Jefferson Scholars Program is the dual-degree program of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences and the College of Humanities & Social Sciences at NC State University.
What We're Up To
We are currently getting ready for a new class of Jeffersons! We loved the chance to meet everyone at Orientation, and we'll see you next at the Welcome Cookout on August 24.
In February the Jeffersons celebrated Darwin's 200th birthday at Dr. Luginbuhl's home. We had a great time eating traditional English foods (Dr. Kimler found Emma Darwin's recipe book) and hanging out. February also brought the favored Agri-Life Masquerade Ball! Pictures from this year coming soon!
The Jeffersons went to the beach for the Spring trip in March, which was tons of fun.
Spring fundraising was successful. The cookie bakesale made money, and all the Krispy Kreme donuts were sold before the morning was over! We supported cancer research by participating in April's Relay for Life, an overnight relay walk, with our Toy Story themed tent. Great job guys!
About Us
The aim of the Thomas Jefferson Scholars is to provide an environment of fellowship and support. We combine intellectual and social fun, among students who are interested in both science and the humanistic disciplines. We meet biweekly for programs, go on trips, and do service projects. Scholars major in one of the biological or agricultural sciences and in one of the humanities or social sciences. We have a special course just for the Jeffersons each year. Our Scholars are also members of other enrichment programs, including the the University Scholars and the Honors programs, and the Caldwell and Park fellowships. Successful graduates of the Jefferson Scholars Program receive a Bachelor's degree from each College.
