Staff Engagement & Growth

Diversity & Inclusion

Boston University’s mission is to fortify the University as a place where everyone can participate and thrive, while harnessing intellectual innovation and interconnection. The BU Diversity & Inclusion team works closely and collaboratively with academic leaders in all schools and colleges, centers and institutes, as well as administrative units across the University to build a positive and inclusive campus environment, to help ensure that not only are we more diverse but also that pathways to success and participation are open to every member of the BU community.

Boston University has made prioritizing diversity, inclusion, and access one of the five main pillars in the Boston University 2030 Strategic Plan.
