North Carolina State University Parent Guide
A Message from the Office of Parents & Families Services
Welcome to North Carolina State University
We are excited your family is now a part of the Wolfpack family. The Office of Parents & Families Services believes that an informed and involved family is crucial to every student’s success.
The Parent Guide is designed to serve as a resource for your family. You will find information that will help familiarize you with the campus community, encourage your involvement in campus events and activities, and hopefully, make your family’s transition to NC State a smooth one.
NC State is alive with hundreds of activities each year. The next few years will present a number of opportunities for families to visit campus for athletic events, arts performances, exhibitions, lectures, Parents & Families Weekend, Spring Fling, cultural and social activities, and much more. Many of these activities are free and open to the public.
We hope that you will take advantage of these opportunities to explore campus, have fun, and experience the Wolfpack spirit.
When you visit campus, be sure to take advantage of the Very Important Parent (VIP) discount program. As a member of NC State’s Parents & Families Association, you are eligible to receive great discounts at hotels, restaurants, performing arts, transportation, and other businesses in the Raleigh area. Simply present your Parents & Families Association membership card, enclosed in the Parents’ Handbook distributed at Parents’ Orientation, to access the savings.
Finally, be sure to check out the Parents’ Handbook for more important campus information and updates about more exciting events.
Best wishes as you begin this exciting journey with your son or daughter!
Sincerely,
Valerie Oti, M.Ed. Program Manager
