A Diverse & International Community

We’re proud of our diverse community representing many identities, including but not limited to abilities, belief systems, ethnicities, genders, nationalities, races, socioeconomic statuses, sexes, and sexual orientations. At Harvard Griffin GSAS, we understand that diversity is important to sustaining Harvard’s excellence as an academic institution, and we strive to create an inclusive environment where all students can thrive and grow academically and personally. All members of the community play an integral role in nurturing a welcoming community, and our Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (EDIB) works in partnership with faculty, staff, and students towards this goal.
