Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging

The Office for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS ODIB) develops and supports evidence-based strategies and programs to advance and support equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (EDIB) for all members (students, faculty, staff, and researchers) of the FAS community. At the root of this work is ensuring that all members of the FAS community feel welcome, included, and supported and that EDIB is established as a core, lived value of the FAS.

Ethnicity, Indigeneity, and Migration

The FAS is pursuing a cluster hire in ethnicity, indigeneity, and migration to amplify teaching and research on racial and ethnic inequality. These new faculty appointments are critical to long-term efforts to strengthen research and teaching capacity, and to ensure that undergraduates and graduate students have access to this vital body of knowledge.
