The College of Sciences recognized David Sieg ’25 for his outstanding achievements and contributions to NC State at the annual awards dinner on Oct. 30 at the Terrace at Lonnie Poole Golf Course.
The Student Leadership Awards awards honor one senior and one graduate student who actively pursue leadership roles within the college and across NC State. They do this either in the classroom or through community service, philanthropy or campus involvement.
David Sieg received the undergraduate senior award. He is majoring in mathematics and is the recipient of two scholarships — the Park Scholarship and the Fulton and Ruby H. Starling Scholarship. During his academic career, he has exhibited a unique blend of academic interest, excitement and leadership.
At NC State, David is president of the Society for Undergraduate Mathematics, has gone on several Alternative Service Breaks as a team lead and was the Learning Lab II committee chair for his Park class.
In addition to his undergraduate coursework, Sieg is completing three master’s-level math courses and three doctorate-level math courses. This showcases his academic ambition and ability to thrive in advanced topics.
Sieg’s leadership is not confined to the classroom. Over the past four years, he has led trips through the university’s Alternative Service Break program. Sieg is also president of the Society for Undergraduate Mathematics Club. He has expanded its activities to include a speaker series, career panels and networking events and outreach activities with elementary age students.
“”It has been a pleasure being one of David Sieg’s Park Faculty Scholars,” said Kay Sandberg, Teaching Professor, Chemistry and Park Faculty Scholar for the Class of 2025. “I always got to spend time with David before every class because he was there early, always working on some project that I could not understand due to its mathematical complexity. Even though I could not understand his projects, I did understand David’s passion for them along with his passion for the math club he led. I look forward to the day when I can tell people that this amazing, accomplished professor was one of my Park Scholars.”
Congrats, David!
