Celebrating the Lunar New Year!
At Wentworth, we recognize the profound cultural significance of Lunar New Year and the diverse traditions it encompasses. This celebration is a reminder of the importance of cultural heritage and how it enriches our collective identity. 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.

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.
Center for Culture and Community
Formerly the Center for Diversity and Global Engagement (CDGE), the Center for Culture and Community promotes cross-cultural perspectives, inclusivity, leadership development and personal growth among the Wentworth community. They foster a welcoming, brave and safe environment for all students with a specific focus on underrepresented populations and their allies through social and educational opportunities such as student organizations, trainings, and more.
Center for Culture and Community
Formerly the Center for Community and Learning Partnerships (CLP), the Center for Culture and Community enables Wentworth students, staff, faculty, alumni, and local residents to participate in a wide range of community initiatives, from our award-winning community engagement projects and collaborations to our proven college access and success programming.
Office of Institutional Equity
Every person in the Wentworth community has a right to be free from discrimination in all Institute programs or activities. The Office of Institutional Equity ensures university-wide recognition of this right.
International Student Services and Engagement
The Office of International Student Services and Engagement celebrates the global student population from 50+ countries and supports their pursuit of higher education and beyond through guidance and resources for understanding immigration regulations, adjusting to life in Boston, and engagement with peers and community.
WIT Diversity Timeline
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.
