About the Department

Primary Function of Organizational Unit
The Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity (OIED) is committed to fostering an inclusive, accessible, and diverse intellectual and cultural campus experience at NC State. The OIED facilitates and supports efforts to ensure equity and equal opportunity, offers diversity education and training, and promotes inclusive excellence among students, faculty, and staff. There are four OIED units: Campus Community Centers; Inclusive Excellence and Strategic Practice; Equal Opportunity and Equity; and Bias Impact Response. Under the direction of the Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity, these units collaborate to ensure accountability to compliance, policy, and community care standards. OIED also monitors and responds to campus climate needs, facilitates equity and inclusion assessment, education, and training, and supports underrepresented and marginalized identity groups within the NC State community.

The Campus Community Centers are a unit within the Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity. The Campus Community Centers are comprised of the African American Cultural Center, the Pride Center, Multicultural Student Affairs, and the Women’s Center. Our community efforts play a role in increasing the participation, retention, and success of students, faculty, and staff from historically underrepresented groups. OIED works to provide a unified, campus-wide approach that ensures that students, faculty, and staff learn and work within a campus defined by the best practices in equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Pride Center
The Pride Center’s mission is to engage, develop, and empower members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community and their allies. The Pride Center’s vision is of a campus where students, staff, faculty, and alumni feel empowered and proud of all the identities that they hold and share responsibility to increase diversity and inclusion. In order to fulfill that mission, the Center helps students connect to support networks, offers identity-based and health-related information and resources. Programmatically the center provides professional and leadership development opportunities and hosts educational events and programs. Additionally, center staff support students individually and collectively on issues related to personal identity, academic and social success, and refers students to resources on campus and in the local community. The Pride Center strives to increase the NC State campus community’s understanding of diversity by working collaboratively to raise awareness, promote respect, and create a culture of equity, inclusion and belonging.

The Pride Center Assistant Director reports to the Director of the Pride Center.
