Community & Inclusion

At Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences, we value community and inclusion and believe that they are foundational to advancing the health and well-being of all people. Our commitment to scientific discovery, experiential learning, and community partnership extends beyond the classroom and clinic to the environments where people live, learn, work, and thrive.

We take inspiration from Boston University’s founding principles: “that higher education should be accessible to all and that research, scholarship, artistic creation, and professional practice should be conducted in the service of the wider community – local and international.”

As a collaborative and diverse community of learners, scholars, professionals, and practitioners, we are dedicated to creating accessible spaces and safe, supportive environments for learning, strengthening personal and professional connections, and ensuring that every member of our community feels valued and supported.

The resources below are offered to help all members of our community engage fully, navigate challenges, and contribute to an equitable and inclusive environment.
