Brown’s community is united by its core values of cultivating an environment that supports free inquiry, committing to continuous reflection and growth, and seeking to elevate voices across campus through a culture of questioning and active participation. While our commitment to diversity is highlighted in our Building on Distinction strategic plan, Brown has always recognized that diversity strengthens every aspect of our institution, from the residential and extracurricular experience to the world-class research opportunities and the Open Curriculum. We continue to see this commitment as a core part of our future as a leading center for academic excellence.
