  The Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) and the Education and Public
Outreach (EPO) Department serve the strategic goal of the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) to broaden public awareness of, support for, and
participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). ODI
operates a suite of programs designed to support underrepresented minority
undergraduate, graduate students in pursuit of careers in STEM. EPO highlights
the discoveries, technologies, and careers pioneered and exemplified by the
NRAO via multipurpose engagement strategies that include face-to-face and
standalone learning programs, products, and public services for the general
public and K-12 students, with attention to reaching diverse audiences. These
established and diverse programs are described, along with proposals for new,
unique opportunities enabled by the development and realization of a
next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA).
