Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The current culture in many STEM fields, whether in academia or in the profession, has not been welcoming and supportive to underrepresented minorities. As a result, many elect not to enter STEM fields and many that do enter, leave after a short stint, either during pursuit of their formal education or early in their professional life. Finally, those who stay in STEM often have to endure systemic bias, injustice and discrimination during their career. 

All of this is wrong and must change. Engineering can and should serve as an engine for good not only for technological advancements but also for building a more just, equitable, inclusive and diverse culture that impacts the world beyond its disciplinary boundaries. The School of Engineering at Tufts (SOE) is fully committed to do its part to contribute to this transformative societal change.
