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.”
“Diversity and inclusion are essential values embedded in the recruitment, development, and engagement of our employees who enable the University’s teaching and research work.”
“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.”
