Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

The Center for Jewish Studies shares Harvard University’s commitment to fostering a campus culture where everyone can thrive, a key to which is ensuring that we each experience a profound sense of inclusion and belonging.

Harvard has established the following five core values:

  • Respect the rights, differences and dignity of others
  • Demonstrate honesty and integrity in all dealings
  • Pursue excellence conscientiously in one’s work
  • Be accountable for the actions and conduct in the community
  • Cultivate bonds and bridges that enable all to grow and learn from one another

Harvard Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Resources

  • The Harvard University Office for Gender Equity (OGE) empowers and supports the Harvard community to advance a climate of gender equity and inclusion through evidence-based educational initiatives, excellence in research and practice, and delivery of direct services.
