Governor Jim Hunt

"The North Carolina Student Legislature capitalizes on one of North Carolina’s most valuable resourcer–our youth. By joining the idealism of college students with practical experience of the legislative process, the Student Legislature increases awareness of our state’s problems and potential."

U.S. Senator Jesse Helms

"Small wonder that the Student Legislature is so highly regarded. It’s an idea whose time had come on the first day it functioned–and it will be around for the next 50 years, and beyond, as a wholesome and constructive part of what we regard as the great State of North Carolina"
