We extend our warmest wishes to all members of our community who observe this holiday and invite everyone to join in recognizing its historical and contemporary relevance. May the coming year bring prosperity, success, and harmony to all. Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happy Lunar New Year!

Celebrating Black History Month 2025!

As we enter the month of February, Wentworth joins the nation in observing Black History Month—an annual recognition of the profound contributions, resilience, and cultural legacy of Black individuals and communities. This observance serves as both a celebration and a critical reflection on the historical and ongoing struggles for self-determination, egalitarianism, and the affirmation of human dignity. 

 

We invite all members of our community to join us in this observance, as we celebrate the achievements of the past, acknowledge the work still to be done, and reaffirm our dedication to building a future rooted in respect, solidarity, and inclusion.

 

If you would like to learn more about Black History Month or get involved in related activities, please see the resources below!

Diversity, equity and inclusion affects all people, and everyone should be invested in understanding why. We are all affected because at the end of the day, we are at our best when every member of our community can live as their best selves. The very heart of diversity, equity and inclusion is basic respect and a sense of belonging.

Inclusive Excellence

Inclusive Excellence means actively and intentionally cultivating a diverse and culturally competent institution where each member has the opportunity and support to reach their full potential and make contributions to our campus community and beyond. Inclusive Excellence is at the center of Wentworth's new strategic plan to which everyone is accountable.

The Division for Inclusive Excellence and the Schumann Library & Learning Commons has partnered to capture significant moments in Wentworth's history that have contributed to campus life related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In order to grow as an inclusive community, we must get to know our history, celebrate our present, and understand what we need to do to strengthen our future.
