Diversity
Diversity is critical to NC State’s mission. New perspectives deepen our understanding, strengthen our community and propel our innovation.
Our Commitment
NC State values diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. Diverse viewpoints, experiences and perspectives better our lives, and they are essential to NC State’s mission. Without them, students simply could not succeed in today’s competitive global marketplace, let alone become conscientious global citizens.
We expect everyone to give of their talents, skills, time and effort to make NC State an environment of inclusive excellence for all.
We invite you to read about our current university-wide initiatives, messages from leadership, links to diversity programs in all of our colleges and divisions, recent news and upcoming events.
