Annual Report 2023-2024
Executive Summary
At the core of our mission, Environmental Health and Public Safety (EH&PS) is dedicated to adaptive problem solving, innovating, and being leaders who strive to create a secure and inclusive atmosphere for the NC State community. Concurrently, we acknowledge the challenges that higher education faces, especially in the regulatory and security arenas, as well as the need for purposeful focus in our programming. Our goal is to surpass traditional safety and health standards, promote operational proficiency, and empower our community with resources for their success on campus and beyond.
The division achieved notable successes in its operations, highlighted by exceptional services such as serving over 2,670,000 passengers on the Wolfline buses, training more than 17,000 participants, facilitating an increased threat assessment and threat case management services through Violence Prevention and Threat Management (VPTM) programs, and expanding video security stanchions and emergency notification automations. Despite these milestones, budgetary challenges persist, particularly in retaining skilled staff to meet regulatory requirements and service demands. The competitive local market affects the volume and quality of job applications, posing ongoing difficulties in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel. Despite these pressures, the division’s dedicated teams continue to demonstrate strong commitment and work ethic, ensuring that EH&PS maintains its high standard of service delivery and programming.
