Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at Bentley
We celebrate our differences and encourage curiosity. Diverse backgrounds, beliefs and life experiences all come together at Bentley, making it a vibrant place to live, learn and explore.
Through conversation, programs and events, we’re shaping the world we want to live in. Please join us.
The Student Equity & Inclusion Team
The Student Equity & Inclusion team provides support, advocacy, advising and care to students with the goal of enhancing student success. In particular, we support gender equity, spiritual health, students of color, religiously-affiliated students, international students, and LGBTQ+ identified students throughout their Bentley experience.
Student Equity & Inclusion departments not only act independently to provide services to diverse populations of students, but also work as a unified team to create intersectional programs. We encourage identity development and implement campus-wide educational and celebratory programming with the over-arching mission of fostering a sense of belonging for all students.
