Our Community

EQUITY, Diversity & Inclusion

What does "diversity" mean for a school of public service?

Everything. It means grappling with stubborn and compounding issues of discrimination, disparity, and access—not just in our work and student groups, but also as an institution. By collectively focusing on these issues, we prepare ourselves to create better solutions to our toughest social challenges.
