Diversity Committee/Council
The UMass Boston academic experience itself is enriched by the many experiences and perspectives that our students, faculty, and staff bring to it. We at the university see diversity and access as critical to the achievement of excellence in all our academic programs. UMass Boston faculty and staff share a vision of undergraduate and graduate teaching that meets the needs of a diverse student population— developing innovative and interdisciplinary programs and nurturing both pure and applied research. The university has reinforced its commitment to the principles of diversity by incorporating a diversity course requirement into the undergraduate curriculum.
