Diversity and Inclusion
We all belong here
Together, we strive to create an environment that values diversity, promotes an inclusive culture, and establishes a profound sense of belonging for each member of our community.
Where one begins does not determine where one ends. If you are here, you belong here."Sherri Ann Charleston, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer
One of the nation’s leading experts in diversity and higher education, Sherri leads Harvard’s Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging as the University’s chief diversity and inclusion officer.
“Harvard must address diversity, inclusion, and belonging as an institution. We have made necessary and important progress, but there is much to be done if we hope to address the many dimensions of racism—and the effects they have on our community and our society.”
“Our diversity has enriched every facet of the work that we do at Harvard, and will continue to strengthen our community in the years to come.”
