Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our Mission

The MIT Sloan Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’s mission is to create proactive, research-supported initiatives and programs that promote MIT’s Values in partnership with our community and other institutions and organizations.

We believe systemic challenges require systemic solutions. That's why we're work with others to develop a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive working and learning environment.

The Office's annual progress report includes information about what's happening, how and why it's happening, and what's next.
