Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The College of Veterinary Medicine is committed to recruiting, supporting and retaining a diverse work force. As stated in the College’s Strategic Plan, one important goal is that the student body, staff and faculty will reflect the diversity of society in North Carolina so that veterinary medicine can best meet the animal health needs of a diverse society. The current climate at the College is one that has a clear understanding of the benefits of diversity, why we need to be culturally competent and how we are stronger with a diverse work environment. Our goal is to enhance that understanding and culture.

NC State values diversity. Not only do we all benefit from multiple viewpoints, experiences and perspectives, diversity is critical to our academic mission. Without it, our students simply could not succeed in today’s competitive global marketplace – let alone become conscientious global citizens.

“When we create environments where we are allowed to be who we are and be authentic and vulnerable, we create space for innovation, for real change and disruption. That is key.”
