Get to Know OEO

Introduction to the Office of Equal Opportunity

The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) provides training, resources and assistance related to areas of equal opportunity and compliance. This includes working toward complete inclusion of all individuals with all abilities and backgrounds to fulfill the university’s mission. We do this through collaborating with campus partners and informing them of federal, state, and local laws, as well as university policies. OEO also works to provide appropriate accommodations for students, staff and faculty, on the basis of disability, religion and pregnancy to ensure equal access to all NC State programs and services. We look forward to connecting with our campus community this academic year!

Sheri Schwab, Vice Provost
