As a university of more than 40,000 students within the larger Raleigh community, there are many diverse socioeconomic categories. NCSUsed bridges the gap with spiritwear to provide access to everyone, right here on campus.

A large reason many students and community members don't purchase university-issued spiritwear is the hefty price tag. NCSUsed provides a way to purchase NC State merchandise at an affordable price, without compromising quality.*

The “fast fashion” industry, or the mass production of clothes in response to the latest trends, comes with an affordable price, but at an environmental cost. NCSUsed promotes the health of the environment without sacrificing price.

A Note From the Founder
Hi everyone! My name is Darcy Blottenberger, and I'm a business student and Shelton Scholar here at NC State. I can't even believe that what started out as my little research side project is finally seeing the world. In fall of 2022, I gathered input through a survey to determine if NCSUsed is something the community even considers a worthwhile pursuit. With over 100 responses, the consensus was overwhelmingly in favor. Now, NCSUsed can become a reality. The first step for any community members looking to pay it forward is to donate at the donation drives. Then, NCSUsed will host pop-up shops, and continue this cycle of donation drives and pop-up shops on a rolling basis, so everyone can showcase their Wolfpack pride!
