Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Chestnut Hill College

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Chestnut Hill College

0

Chestnut Hill College has a long-standing history of inclusion. We were founded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph whose mission is to serve the Dear Neighbor without distinction and with active and inclusive love. We carry this mission into our life at Chestnut Hill College and it is the foundation of the Office of DEI.

In 2016, Chestnut Hill College responded to the national dialogue about race by initiating A PATH FORWARD: PROMOTING EQUITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND RACIAL JUSTICE AT CHESTNUT HILL COLLEGE. We seek to further cultivate a campus environment marked by equity, diversity, inclusion, and racial justice.

Committed to achieving diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout campus, Chestnut Hill College maintains a Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee, which is made up of students, faculty and staff, who rotate through serving terms. Click here to MEET THE TEAM for the 2023-24 academic year.

Continuing the College’s celebration of Black History Month, on Monday, February 6th, the world-renowned pianist, Vincent Craig, performed a free concert to an audience composed of students, faculty, staff, and members of the community. An esteemed pianist recognized for his repertoire of works by African-American composers, Craig performed selections from his most recent album, Radiant Pinnacle, a celebration of Black composers from all periods of history, dating back as early as the 17th century.
