Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Course


Welcome!

MIT is committed to making our community an inclusive place for all. The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion course is a tool for education on terminology and resources for students. It is a basic expectation of respect and caring amongst our community. The stories and the students that were involved in the creation of the course helped make the module specific to MIT student needs regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion.
