Managers: Encourage Employees To Attend the Fest

Managers, please try to accommodate employees who would like to attend Red and White Fest. In addition, we’d appreciate it if you encourage your team to go. We advocate for teams to attend the fest together for team building and fun. If you can’t attend the on-campus event, we encourage work teams to celebrate their accomplishments by hosting a tailgate or picnic wherever they are.

Help Pack the Shelves

Red and White Fest will also be an opportunity for everyone to participate in Pack the Shelves, a program that supports Feed the Pack, NC State’s food pantry. Bring a food item to the event and drop it off in a container that we will provide for your college or division. Every person who brings a food item can enter a raffle to win prizes. The college or division that collects the most donations will be named the Red and White Fest Champion. Visit the Feed the Pack website to see a list of the pantry’s most-needed food items or to learn how to support the pantry by volunteering or providing monetary donations.

Walk-In Flu Clinic at Red & White Fest

There is no appointment necessary to get a flu vaccine at a walk-in flu clinic location.

You will need to upload a copy of your insurance card to the HealthyPack Portal prior to your arrival at the clinic using the Insurance tab at the top of your HealthyPack Portal. If you have not done so before your appointment, you will be asked to do it at or after your appointment.

Additional Staff and Faculty Flu Vaccination Options

Flu season is right around the corner. It is more important than ever to get a flu vaccine this year. The best way to reduce your risk from seasonal flu and its potentially serious complications is to get vaccinated every year.

NC State Faculty and Staff have several available options to receive their annual flu shot.

We plan to promote the fest and share pictures from the event on X (formerly Twitter).

What to Know Before You Go

We can’t wait to see you from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Nov. 1st at Miller Fields for Red and White Fest: An Employee Celebration. Here are some reminders and tips to get you ready for this Red and White Week celebration of our employee community and Pack pride:

  • Miller Fields is behind Carmichael Gymnasium, between Dan Allen and Morrill drives. See this map for directions. 
  • The rain location will be the basketball courts inside Carmichael Gymnasium. 
  • If you didn’t register to attend the fest, you are still welcome to drop by Miller Fields for fun and food.
  • Employee parking is available in the C lots and the Coliseum Parking Deck with a permit, but we encourage employees to ride a Wolfline bus or walk to Miller Fields.
  • Support Pack the Shelves by bringing a food item to the fest to donate to the Feed the Pack food pantry. Every person who brings a food item can enter a raffle to win prizes. If you bring a food item, deposit it in a container that we will provide for your college or division. The college or division that collects the most donations will be named the Red and White Fest Champion.
  • Free food and drinks will be available at the fest while supplies last. You are welcome to bring your own food if you want.
  • Bring a picnic blanket or a chair; limited seating will be available on-site.

  • Mr. and Ms. Wuf plan to stop by the fest.
