Beginning Sunday, for the sixth year in a row, the Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity and the UAB-Diversity Activities Board will sponsor Diversity Education Week on NC State’s campus, with multiple activities scheduled every day through Friday.
The student-led educational week promotes awareness and understanding of diverse culture and fosters intercultural understanding through a college of engaging opportunities, including lectures, workshops, panel and group discussions, information sessions, film, food music and dance.
The goal of the activities is to advance learning and scholarship, build understanding and respect among different peoples, and enhances constructive leadership and dialogue in the local and global community.
All events are free and open to students, faculty and staff.
Participants attending at least two programs (and completing an online evaluation for each) will be entered in a drawing for prizes
