We view faculty diversity as crucial to building a campus community that fosters demographic and intellectual diversity. When you come to campus for a visit, if you would like us to arrange an opportunity for you to interact with any particular group of students, faculty, and/or staff to gain an additional understanding of our campus climate, please contact Dr. Marcia Gumpertz, Interim Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion, at 919-515-7826 or gumpertz@ncsu.edu We will make every effort to facilitate those meetings.
