2019 Survey Results

In the spring of 2019, for the first time in its history, Harvard asked everyone in its community to share perceptions about inclusion and belonging at Harvard in order to count the individual experiences of every single Harvard community member. Although no survey can illuminate all there is to remedy, nor prescribe all that could be done, the pilot pulse survey was an important first step toward understanding more about inclusion and belonging. The University responded to the survey findings with a number of new investments and programs including: the hiring of Harvard’s first Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer; the establishment of the Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging; launching the annual EDIB Forum; hosting community dialogues; support for an enhanced set of annual Affinity Celebrations, and more.
