Resiliency and Community Support

Who We Are

Resiliency and Community Support (RCS), housed within the Office of Student Life and Advocacy (OSLA), enhances the student experience at NC State University by aligning several programs and functions that support student well-being, foster a sense of belonging, promote a safe campus environment, and address the basic needs of our Wolfpack community.

Our Focus:

  • Connect students, families, and our community to resources and services
  • Assist students to meet their basic needs
  • Coordinate division resources in response to campus emergencies
  • Provide off-campus housing support
  • Facilitate student administrative processes
  • Help students establish a sense of belonging

RCS coordinates several signature university programs and essential functions in support of student success, including:
