Our Mission

The Suffolk University Office of Diversity Services supports and realizes the University’s mission to prepare students to live in a diverse global society and to appreciate the richness of various cultures by intentionally engaging diversity to benefit both our student population and the greater University community.  We seek to encourage the formation of an inclusive campus culture and learning environment in which each member of the Suffolk University family is welcomed and valued.                                                                                        

The Office of Diversity Services provides a variety of resources to help facilitate an engaged campus community that proactively explores various areas of diversity, including race and ethnicity, gender, culture, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religious orientation, international concerns, gender identity and expression, age, disability, and Vietnam-era or disabled veteran status.  Additionally, the Office of Diversity Services works in concert with student clubs, faculty, academic offices, and other University departments to develop creative programs and social justice trainings, engage in conversations related to power and privilege in society, and create awareness and understanding of social justice issues designed to increase cross-cultural interaction and engagement. 

All members of the Suffolk University community are encourage to participate in the initiatives and programs sponsored by the Office of Diversity Services.
