Helping Your Incoming Student Make the Most of NC State’s Campus Resources

Welcome to the Wolfpack Family! As your student starts their journey here at NC State, they’re stepping into a vibrant and supportive community designed to help them thrive. From career coaching to wellness programs, NC State offers a wide range of resources to support students academically, professionally, and personally. One of the most important roles you can play as a parent or family member is encouraging your student to take full advantage of these opportunities. 

Sometimes, students simply don’t know what’s available to them. You can initiate an open and supportive conversation by asking questions like:

• Did you know there’s free tutoring through the Academic Success Center?
• Are you planning to attend any Wolfpack Welcome Week events?
• Have you explored any student organizations that interest you?

College students often feel pressure to “figure it all out” on their own, but it’s important to remind them that seeking support is a smart and important choice toward their success. Whether they’re struggling with school work, managing stress, or thinking about their career path, NC State has dedicated professionals who are ready to help. Encourage your student to explore resources like the Counseling Center, the Career Development Center, and Wellness and Recreation.

Helping your student make the most of these resources starts with awareness and encouragement. Keep asking questions, listen closely, and celebrate the small wins along the way. With your support and the strength of the Pack behind them, your student is well on their way to a fulfilling and successful college experience!

Go Pack!!!
