The Office of Institutional Diversity organizes and sponsors a number of programs connected to our mission of advancing and sustaining an organizational culture and climate that fully welcomes diversity and inclusiveness for all members of the Boston College community. These programs include:

University Affiliates Program
This program provides professional staff from underrepresented groups with opportunities to broaden their management experiences and to study critical issues in higher education. Selected participants participate in a professional development program that includes seminars, lectures, case studies and discussions.

Employee Development Diversity Programs
An important phase of our journey is to provide time and resources for honest dialogue, self-reflection, and cross-cultural communication in our community. In our effort to create a receptive climate where it is possible to have the hard discussions about race and other “isms,” The Office for Institutional Diversity has partnered with Employee Development to offer a series of workshops and programs.

Customized diversity programs and consulting
In addition to our ongoing, regularly scheduled diversity programs, the Office for Institutional Diversity works with departments and divisions across the University, offering expert consulting on diversity needs and initiatives, and partners with departments to create custom diversity programs for faculty, staff, and students. Please contact us for more information about these opportunities.
