Welcome to the Office for Institutional Diversity (OID), where we facilitate and support the University’s diversity and inclusion efforts.  By aligning our work with the University’s mission and goals, our objective is to help Boston College live out the social justice imperatives inherent in its Catholic and Jesuit heritage, create a wholesome and supportive learning and working environment for all, and take full advantage of the various strengths and talents of its students, faculty, and staff.

Increasing faculty and staff diversity and fostering an organizational culture and climate that welcomes and supports diversity and inclusion lie at the heart of our work.  We invite you to learn more about what we do and how we do it through this web site and we encourage you to join us in this important work by actively engaging in it yourself.

We welcome the opportunity to consider your thoughts, concerns, ideas, and questions. Please contact us at any time.
