About the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

The Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (IDEIB) focuses on strategic initiatives across the campus to create and maintain an inclusive community. IDEIB collaborates with various campus partners to align the university’s DEIB efforts. This office oversees the PwC Center for Diversity and Inclusion, which includes the Intercultural Center, the Hochberg Women’s Center, and the Pride Center.

Institutional Commitment to Inclusion

Bryant University recognizes that its position as a leader in higher education is greatly determined by its intellectual endeavors and the diversity of its campus community. We encourage members of our community to be open-minded, critical thinkers who possess the courage and patience to grow in their understanding of differences. Doing so on a personal level reaffirms the critical role that divergent voices play in making Bryant University a world-class institution dedicated to inclusion in all aspects of teaching, learning and living harmoniously in a shared scholarly environment.

The Council for Inclusive Excellence brings together members from every division to help create a more inclusive environment at Bryant University. The council is responsible for recommending and coordinating inclusive efforts broadly including training, programming and assessment. The council works collaboratively with other campus entities to develop a campus environment that is welcoming, safe and inclusive for faculty, staff and students.

The Student Advisory Board for Inclusive Excellence ensures that student voices are always present in the planning and execution of diversity efforts. The board consists of undergraduate students of various backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. The board helps to inform diversity, equity and inclusion practices, priorities and accountability for access and inclusion for students at Bryant University.
