Transcript

At Bocconi University, diversity is our core value and inclusion is our strength.
We are committed to welcoming all and creating an environment where everyone can belong and thrive.

Our community embraces diversity every day by sharing unique stories and perspectives.
Students, faculty, staff, alumni — we all shape an open, dynamic space where we can be ourselves, to learn, to grow, and to enrich each other.

It is our common goal to represent and respect all origins, languages, traditions, and beliefs on our multicultural campus,
advance gender equality, and foster a safe space for all gender identities and sexual orientations,
support all abilities and kinds of neurodiversity, ensuring equal opportunities for everyone to flourish,
and prioritize well-being through counseling and self-awareness initiatives to help manage challenges and realize our potential fully.

Living in a diverse community is a privilege.
Respecting each other's dignity is a responsibility.

We do everything in our power to allow respect to lead, so that equity can follow naturally.

At Bocconi University, diversity is a fact and inclusion is a practice: everybody in, nobody out.

Because respect and action, together, break down every barrier

Awareness, inclusion, transformation. These are our keywords
