In establishing the Office for Institutional Diversity as the successor to the Office of Affirmative Action in the spring of 2004, the University has reaffirmed and strengthened its commitment to advancing and sustaining an organizational culture and climate that fully welcomes diversity and inclusiveness for all members of the Boston College community.
Our objective, through effective management of our diversity, is to use it to create a competitive advantage for the University, and at the same time to help us live out the social justice imperatives inherent in our Jesuit and Catholic heritage. We invite you to join us as we work to create a campus climate of inclusion that values and celebrates our diversity, and that encourages dialogue and partnership.
Please take a few moments to browse our website which we hope you will find useful and informative. We welcome the opportunity to consider your thoughts, concerns, ideas and questions about campus inclusiveness and diversity, and also about how we can make this website a more comprehensive resource for the Boston College community. We encourage you to contact us at any time.
