With the end of its spring semester, NC State concluded a tragic school year that saw the deaths of 14 students.
"Oh, my gosh, it's not stopping," said Technician's news editor Abigail Ali told ABC News, describing what she and other editors saw as the tipping point in the crisis. "As soon as we think it's over, there's another one."
By the start of the school’s spring term, five students had passed away. Students reported that communications from NC State improved about the deaths and causes. However, the sheer number of deaths began to take a toll, according to students. In this undated file photo, DH Hill Library at the campus of North Carolina State University is shown in Raleigh, N.C."This is heartbreaking, and I know there's little I can say to console the deep hurt or heal the immense grief felt by the family and friends of these young people and others we've lost this year," Chancellor Randy Woodson wrote in a statement on April 27.
The loss of traditional support systems further these concerns as students transition into college, according to Brandon Johnson, the acting branch chief of suicide prevention at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Students added that factors like social media and isolation stemming from the pandemic have made adjusting to college harder than what previous generations have faced.
“When I have to reach out to my professors and ask for these things because I just want to get any amount of sleep or like I just physically can't make myself do work because I'm so burnt out,” she said. “It's a bit humiliating, honestly, and it's scary because they can just say no.” NC State has more than doubled its counselors over the last decade to 47 clinical professionals, according to Scott. However, even if they had "100 or 1,000 counselors," she said they could not fully address the crisis. Students also added that locating these resources can be inherently challenging during a crisis.“When we feel lost or confused and hopeless, and asking for help, or just finding the resource can be difficult,” first-year student Ashley Clemmer added.
