Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at VT NSI
At the Virginia Tech National Security Institute, we are committed to harboring a collaborative work environment, expanding our community engagement, and championing equity across the institute. Our dedicated DEI Committee is at the forefront of championing our mission to promote and support an equitable, diverse, and inclusive work environment for all VTNSI faculty, staff, and students regardless of age, race, ethnicity, country of origin, language, religion, spiritual practice, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, personality dimensions, academic interests, socioeconomic status, and mental/physical status.
The Committee embodies the meaning of Ut Prosim for an inclusive workplace and provides a welcoming environment for all people that interact with VTNSI. The Committee also works with the University Office of Inclusion and Diversity to ensure VTNSI benefits from University-level programs and activities.
