Student Life

The Student Life Division provides the nurturing setting for the holistic development of every student. The residential environment increases the depth and breadth of all students’ experiences as they take advantage of the rich opportunities and support which are available within the NCSSM community.

• The Counseling Services Department provides personal counseling, career, college and academic planning and instruction to all juniors on study skills and time management.
• The Physical Activity and Wellness Department offers a wide variety of core and elective courses including resistance training, Sports Medicine I & II, self-defense, archery and fencing; an eighteen sport interscholastic program, an intramural program with more than 90 percent participation, and many recreational opportunities.
• The Residential Life Department offers instruction for a graduation required Student Life 101 course that addresses topics on community building, diversity, alcohol and drugs, sexual issues, public speaking, leadership and interviewing skills. In addition, Residential Life facilitates housing where it is an essential requirement that students live on campus and provides on-site emergency on-call management.
• Through the Student Services Department, students are introduced to becoming active members of their community through the graduation requirements of Service Learning and Work Service. In addition, Student Services provides weekly social and cultural opportunities through the Student Activities Board. Student Services staff members supervise and live on each residential floor and provide support, supervision and weekly programming.
