Diversity and Inclusion in the Mathematics Department

The Mathematics Department at NC State values and promotes diversity and inclusivity, which are critical to our academic mission. We all benefit from multiple viewpoints, experiences and perspectives.   A diverse environment enables our students to succeed in today’s competitive global marketplace, and helps them to become conscientious global citizens.  

New perspectives deepen our understanding, strengthen our community and propel our innovation.  Everyone who comes to NC State and the Mathematics Department enriches us through their varied knowledge and backgrounds. We expect our faculty, staff and students to use their talents, skills, time and effort to make NC State an environment of inclusive excellence for all.
