Multicultural Faculty Group

About the Group

Our focus is on recruiting and retaining high quality multicultural faculty.

The idea for this group came for a small multicultural group of assistant professors at NC State in 2009 who were interested in having some social networking opportunities.

Multicultural Coffee Hours

We especially encourage assistant professors to come network with others; all are welcome.

Monday, April 1, 2013

8:00-10:00

1911 Bldg Room 128

We will provide coffee, tea, and bagels.

This is a great way to meet the OIED Faculty Liaisons: Jade Berry-James (Public Administration), Monica Leach (Social Work), Maria Correa (Population Health and Pathobiology), and Wendy Krause (Textile Engineering Chemistry and Science). Coffee hours are held every other month and alternate between morning and afternoon hours. Please drop in for any amount of time during the posted hours.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
