Diversity Education Week (DEW) is a week-long series of programs that reinforces NC State’s institutional commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity by highlighting the importance of our diversity and the role it plays in our daily lives, creating opportunities for campus members to become more aware of the impact of diversity at NC State and exploring more equitable and socially just practices and policies that improve success outcomes.

Objectives:

• To introduce the campus to the various equity, diversity and inclusion units across campus;
• To increase awareness and understanding of the experiences and concerns of underrepresented and marginalized individuals at NC State;
• To create opportunities for greater intercultural engagement and respectful dialogue about challenging social issues;
• To encourage greater participation in diversity and inclusion efforts throughout the year.

2018 Diversity Education Week Theme

The theme for our 9th Annual Diversity Education Week is “Who Are We?: Defining the Wolfpack.” We are seeking proposals for programs (presentations, workshops, discussions, films, arts events, poster presentations and other engagement opportunities) that explore who we are as a diverse institution framed within one of the following topical areas:

• Social Identity Development and Expression
• Social Positional
• Policy and Practice
