About
MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering seeks to welcome and include all members, irrespective of background or identity. All individuals are expected to treat others with respect and courtesy, irrespective of such factors as race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, age, or national origin. We seek to cultivate an overall climate in which every person feels welcome, respected, and are able to develop to their full potential, thereby creating a community that can do the same.
This page summarizes the actions we are taking as a department to build a community that is actively anti-racist, pro-inclusive, and that highlights our efforts to pursue a just, equitable, and inclusive workspace.
