Brandeis International Business School

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

A group of people at Brandeis Orientation

At Brandeis International Business School, we believe that engaging diversity, equity and inclusion is integral to success in academics, business and society. Brandeis University was founded on these principles and they continue to guide our mission.

We acknowledge, value and are committed to making these principles come to life for all members of the International Business School community.
