Diversity
Working to address the challenges of an increasingly diverse and complex world, MIT needs to enlist the creative resources of all people. Engineering, in particular, is a creative and collaborative endeavor in which the most elegant solutions are those that arise from a rich diversity of perspective, discussion, and inquiry.
To ensure future success in achieving its educational mission, the School of Engineering has made it a top priority to increase diversity in two ways: first, by fostering a community of opportunity for all our stakeholders, and second, by providing the intellectual stimulation of a diverse school and campus environment, both in the classroom and where we work and live.
The School has made steady progress in recruiting and retaining people from groups that have been traditionally, and continue to be, underrepresented in engineering. Yet there is still much to be done as we work to build a diverse and inclusive community of faculty, staff, and students.
