Kudos to the 2014-15 OIED Faculty Liaisons for a very productive year! The Faculty Liaison program supports faculty initiatives related to diversity. This year the initiatives have included incorporating values of inclusivity and diversity in departmental planning, piloting a \u201csearch like a coach\u201d program to prepare researchers of the future, working to make NC State the university of choice for Hispanic\/Latino students in North Carolina, establishing the Indigenous Collaborative on Education, Research and Service, creating a diversity giving circle to increase the number of new sponsors of NC State\u2019s Diversity and Equity Fund, evaluating the impact of NC State\u2019s family-friendly policies and evaluating the impact of course interventions on students\u2019 stereotypes of scientists.<\/p>\n

Five of the faculty liaisons have worked within their departments to catalyze discussions about how the department\u2019s operations and presence reflect the department\u2019s values and goals with respect to diversity and inclusion. They are: Robin Abrams, professor and head, School of Architecture; Joel Ducoste, professor of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering; Wendy Krause, associate professor of Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science; Thomas Schaefer, Distinguished Professor of Physics; and Mary Wyer, associate professor of Psychology. They have worked to develop concrete and realistic department-level plans, including developing language for their department websites, defining departmental hiring and graduate student recruiting priorities and drafting inclusive language for their departments\u2019 mission statements.<\/p>\n
