The UNC System Racial Equity Task Force is hosting several virtual town halls next week. You are invited — and encouraged — to participate. During the sessions, the task force wants to learn more about your experiences, ideas and/or questions about race and equity both at NC State and in the broader UNC System. The various sessions and times are listed below. Please take a moment to review and consider attending.
The town halls will provide important space for you to share feedback to inform recommendations to the UNC Board of Governors and the UNC System Office. The sessions will allow for anonymous feedback as well. Space is limited, so some attendees may be waitlisted. If your registration is waitlisted, you may receive a confirmation email later.
Input is important to help the UNC System move forward with tangible steps that will make a difference in the way our university and others in the system continue to pursue equity and justice.

Thank you for your valued participation and input.
The UNC System Racial Equity Task Force was established to examine the legacy of race and racism in North Carolina’s public higher education system; consider how that history shapes and impacts the experiences of our students, faculty, staff and communities; and arrive at an actionable path forward that will build a culture of inclusion across our institutions. These town halls will build on our survey responses that students, faculty and staff shared in September and will inform the Racial Equity Task Force’s recommendations that will be proposed in December. You can learn more about the task force’s efforts here, and you’re welcome to send us additional thoughts, concerns and valuable input through our Share Your Ideas form.
