About NCSUsed

What is it?

 

NCSUsed is a student-driven thrift store initiative. It's comprised of NC State merchandise that provides spiritwear at an inexpensive price and a convenient location, while promoting sustainable fashion with unique designs.

How does it work?

NCSUsed collects NC State spiritwear donations from NC State alumni and any other interested community members, then resells the merchandise for a low price and wide variety of designs. It is a pop-up shop that appears in significant locations around campus (e.g., the Brickyard, Wolf Plaza, the Oval, etc.) on certain days to give students and community members the opportunity to purchase.

Give back to the community!

If you have any NC state apparel or merchandise that you no longer use, we are accepting donations! NCSUsed is a great way to give back to the NC State and Raleigh community, and a great way to pay school spirit forward. See further info on the next donation drives below.

Our Guiding Values

Accessibility

Sustainability

Accessibility

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.

Affordability

Sustainability

Accessibility

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.*

Sustainability

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. In fall of 2022, I gathered input through a survey to determine if NCSUsed was something the community even considered a worthwhile pursuit. With over 100 responses, the consensus was overwhelmingly in favor. Now, NCSUsed is 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, where NC State merchandise can be purchased. This cycle of donation drives and pop-up shops will continue on a rolling basis, so everyone has a chance to showcase their Wolfpack pride!
