Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee

The DEI Committee strives to foster a more inclusive and equitable campus experience by addressing systemic DEI issues that affect the entire Northeastern community. Open to all students, the committee serves as a platform for advocacy, collaboration, and action, bridging the efforts of diverse cultural, spiritual, and identity-based groups to promote collective impact. By amplifying underrepresented voices, influencing policy, and supporting cross-community initiatives, we aim to create a campus environment where every student feels seen, valued, and empowered to thrive. It would remain open to any student interested in contributing to DEI efforts, ensuring broad representation and participation from diverse groups.
