They say it takes a village to raise a child, but what comes next? We all seek community \u2014 somewhere to belong, people who believe in us, help and support us. If you’re looking for all of those things, might we recommend joining the Wolfpack?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NC State is represented by a Wolfpack rather than a wolf, because we know we’re stronger together. <\/strong>Our research is often collaborative and interdisciplinary. Our events and community spaces are open and welcoming. Our campus resources, like the Counseling Center<\/a>, Pack Essentials<\/a> and the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program<\/a>, make sure no one faces hard times alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All across our campus, you’ll find helpers, mentors, collaborators, friends, confidantes, partners, counselors and teammates. They’re the people we meet at NC State whose support makes the hard days easier, the good times memorable and the most complex challenges solvable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we turned to members of our community looking for stories of gratitude for the Wolfpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just a few of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
