Commitment to Inclusion

Wellness and Recreation is committed to fostering innovative and inclusive programs, services and facilities that are accessible for every member of the Wolfpack community. To continue our commitment to inclusion we strive to provide resources, transparent communication and collaboration with NC State campus partners to enhance student success.

Wellness and Recreation encourages individuals from varied backgrounds and identities to participate in all programs, facilities and services – to promote personal growth and enhance the community. We are committed to a welcoming and secure campus environment for all members of the university community.

Wellness and Recreation strives to provide opportunities, spaces and guidelines for all members of the community to feel safe, included and welcome.

Wellness and Recreation often receives requests to create spaces limiting access to programs, services and facilities for a specific population (e.g. women’s only fitness classes, faculty and staff only work out times). Given the nature of the type of services provided, Wellness and Recreation does not provide “only” programs, services or facilities due to unintentional consequences of exclusion.
Wellness and Recreation has five private fitness studios located on the third floor of the Wellness and Recreation Center. All rooms are open during facility hours and have doors for private use.
Wellness and Recreation is committed to continued partnership with various departments and groups to provide custom programming.
