Bridgewater State University (BSU) is deeply committed to issues of diversity, inclusion, and social justice.  The mission of the Office of Institutional Diversity (OID) is to provide resources to the campus and region that support efforts to create equity and opportunity for all.  Using an Inclusive Excellence theoretical framework, the OID partners with many constituents across campus as they create, implement, and assess diversity-oriented efforts at BSU.  As a result of these combined efforts, BSU is emerging as a leader in higher education by providing comprehensive and effective diversity-oriented policies and practices. 

Student success is a central focus of the OID as we work with multiple divisions of the university on Project Compass, which is dedicated to creating, implementing, and evaluating policies and practices that support the retention and graduation rates of  students from under-represented groups.

BSU is also pleased to support and host the Massachusetts Hall of Black Achievement, the Martin Luther King annual Celebration and Breakfast, the Martin Luther King Day of Serviceand numerous other partnerships with community members region-wide that support diversity.

The OID looks forward to continuing our collective efforts to create a campus that truly actualizes the ideals of inclusion and social justice.
