RALEIGH, N.C. - The mission of NC State athletics is to prepare and inspire its student-athletes to help them compete and achieve.
With that mission comes the commitment to deliver first-class experiences, resources and services to all NC State student-athletes, while maximizing the opportunity that participating in NCAA and ACC college athletics allows currently, and into the future.
The newly crafted, "Wolfpack Promise" details the extent of services, resources and opportunities available to NC State student-athletes.
"Our goal and responsibility is to help our student-athletes realize their full potential, both academically and athletically," said Director of Athletics Debbie Yow. "The Wolfpack Promise reflects the scope of resources NC State Athletics provides for our student-athletes to help them reach their goals."
Among the key components are the academic commitment NC State makes to student-athletes, highlighted by the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes (ASPSA), as well as guaranteed scholarships that cover full cost of attendance and the opportunity to return and complete a degree.
There are numerous life skills programs NC State student-athletes continue to take advantage of including the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the Wolfpack Leadership Academy and a speaker series aimed to educate and aid in personal development.
Additionally, comprehensive healthcare is a priority, with a first-class medical staff, two full-time nutritionists, a full-time sports psychologist, and a fully-staffed strength and conditioning unit.
Among the new facilities projects that will benefit current and future student-athletes, the Close-King Indoor Practice Facility will be completed this spring, while a $35 million renovation to Reynolds Coliseum will begin in March with an anticipated completion of August 2016. These complement first-class facilities already available to our 500+ student-athletes in 23 sports.
NC State is committed to its vision of becoming a Top 25 program, while offering its student-athletes first-class facilities, elite coaches, and a loyal and passionate fan base, while competing in the most geographically diverse conference in college athletics. The Wolfpack Promise, along with evolving NCAA legislation, will continue to move NC State Athletics towards that goal.
