The Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (IDEIB) aims to foster an inclusive community by:

• Engaging with people: We provide resources and support for underrepresented groups through facilitating networking opportunities to enhance community and professional growth. Additionally, we reach out to the broader community through partnerships, collaborative projects, and participation in community events.
   
• Implementing programs: Our approach to campus-wide initiatives includes training programs, organizing workshops, and hosting events promoting awareness and understanding of diverse perspectives.
   
• Cultivating an inclusive culture: We work closely with campus partners to ensure initiatives are aligned. By sharing best practices and using resources efficiently, we amplify the impact of our work and create a broader positive effect.

Our office works with the PwC Center for Diversity and Inclusion, encompassing the Intercultural Center, the Hochberg Women’s Center, and the Pride Center. This partnership supports faculty, staff, and students — the Bryant community — to ensure our efforts are cohesive and impactful.

Institutional Commitment to Inclusion

At Bryant University, we recognize that our intellectual endeavors and the diversity of our campus community greatly determine our position as a leader in higher education.

We encourage members of our community to be open-minded, critical thinkers with the courage and patience to grow in their understanding of differences. Doing so personally reaffirms the vital role of divergent voices in making Bryant University a world-class institution dedicated to inclusion in all aspects of teaching, learning, and harmoniously living in a shared scholarly environment.
