Employer Engagement Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement
Wellesley College Career Education is highly committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and guided by Inclusive Excellence, a core tenet of Wellesley College’s 2021 Strategic plan, we believe that “Without inclusivity and the bringing together of different perspectives, there is no excellence.”
Wellesley College is a member of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and follows the principles outlined in NACE’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement.
All employers who wish to recruit Wellesley students for employment agree to recruit, hire, train and promote individuals without regard to race, color, ethnicity, country of origin, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability or socio-economic background/class.
