As of 2010, the Division of Student Affairs at North Carolina State University provides programs and services for students and the larger community to enhance quality of life, facilitate intellectual, ethical and personal growth, and create a culture which engenders respect for human diversity. Through these activities the Division of Student Affairs support student learning with the principle of "Students First." Before 1954 various aspects of student personnel work were scattered in several independent offices, some reporting to the business manager, some to the chancellor, and some to the Dean of Students. (Regan, p. 152) A survey by Cresap, McCormick and Paget recommended the creation of the Dean of Student Affairs, to replace the Dean of Students. In 1954, James J. Stewart became the first Dean of Student Affairs. Although the Dean of Students has spent most of his time on student absences and disciplinary matters, the Dean of Student Affairs was able to spend more time planning and coordinating all aspects of the college's non-academic program.

The Office of Religious Affairs grew out of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and the leadership of Edward S. King, who served North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University) through the YMCA from 1919 to 1955. In the fall of 1889 a branch of the YMCA was established on the campus. The YMCA conducted regular Sunday services and Bible study classes, published a monthly paper and a handbook for freshmen and prospective students, and brought carefully chosen and nationally known speakers to the campus. Members of the YMCA gave programs at neighboring colleges and representatives were sent to the annual Southern Student Conference near Asheville and to various other student volunteer conferences. Other activities and services of the YMCA included the provision of a game room for students, a barbershop, and the Self-Help Bureau, which helped students secure employment while in college. Members of this organization met new students at the depot and escorted them to the campus with the intention of becoming the students' servant, friend, and moral guide. The YMCA branch existed on campus until 1982.

In 1975, a copper box was found in the cornerstone of the King Religious Center (also known as the YMCA), where it had been for around sixty years. The contents of this time capsule are primarily documents from the early years of the YMCA and are in this collection.
