Diversity and Inclusion

Stonehill's Commitment to a Diverse and Inclusive Community

At Stonehill College, we believe in the inherent dignity of each person and are committed to nurturing and valuing a culture where differences are openly shared and affirmed. As mutual respect is a cornerstone of educating the whole person, we aspire to build and maintain an honest, just and compassionate community. Stonehill aims to empower each of its members to challenge and support one another and to embrace our human solidarity, which we understand as essential to inclusivity.

Honoring human difference in its many forms is the responsibility of everyone at the College, both individually and collectively. As such, we will work together to address inequities and contribute to a more just world.

Increasing the diversity of our community is an active priority.  We have developed, and will continue to expand and refine, engaging programs, practices and experiences that promote a culture of belonging.  To learn more about the many ways in which the College demonstrates its ongoing commitment to our community and to social justice efforts both within and far beyond our campus, please visit the on campus diversity resources page.
