A conversation with Crystal Ann Williams Associate Provost for Diversity & Inclusion

Crystal Ann Williams is Boston University’s inaugural Associate Provost for Diversity & Inclusion. She provides leadership for initiatives that promote diversity, access, and inclusion across the University.

Since her arrival, she has energized our efforts to diversify the faculty, students and staff with renewed enthusiasm, and has been working closely with leaders on the Medical Campus to achieve our goals of diversity and inclusion.

Professor Williams joined BU in October 2017 from Bates College, where she served as Associate Vice President for Strategic Initiatives, Professor of English and as a senior advisor to the President.

She is an award-winning poet, the author of four books, and the recipient of several artistic fellowships, grants, and commissions. She is consistently recognized as a thought leader on diversity in the arts and has helped to lead and convene programs at the state and local levels involving arts, civic, and philanthropic leaders. She holds a BA from New York University and an MFA from Cornell University.
