From the Vice Provost

Acknowledging the Arbery Trial

"Even in this busy time for NC State, we pause to acknowledge the implications of this trial — as well as those from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial which concluded last week with a not guilty verdict — and the very real impacts for Black, Brown and Indigenous communities. These trials are seen by many as barometers of progress for racial equity, justice and change in our nation. Because of this, we anxiously await the verdict in the Arbery trial.

"I write simply to bear witness to this moment. As always, there are many community support resources available, should you or someone you know need them, and we encourage everyone to take extra care throughout the next few days. I also invite you to join me in hope for justice and in commitment to do all we can to continue moving NC State forward on this journey for more inclusion and more equity for all."
