Connections and Belonging

NC State’s strength is its people — a thriving Wolfpack in which everyone is welcome and has every opportunity to succeed.

A Campus for All

NC State values freedom and inclusion. As a public university — a university of the people — it’s essential that we welcome and support everyone in our community.

Diverse experiences and perspectives enrich our lives. They give students the insights required to succeed in today’s global marketplace, and they make all of us more conscientious global citizens. We expect everyone in the wider Wolfpack to help our community continue to be a place where every individual feels valued.

Below, you can explore the university initiatives, programs and services that support the well-being and success of our students, faculty and staff.

Office of Equal Opportunity

NC State maintains a dedicated office tasked with promoting equal opportunity, eliminating barriers, preventing harassment or discrimination, and providing resources and redress for those who need them.
