Outreach, Diversity & Inclusion

The Boston University College of Engineering has a long-standing commitment to the recruitment, advancement and support of a diverse community of faculty, staff and students in all of its educational and research programs and practices. By developing an extensive network ranging from K-12 outreach programs to faculty leadership training, the College strives to include historically underrepresented groups to create a talented and versatile engineering community that is supportive to all members.
