Advancing a Community Approach to Access & Inclusion

About this Commitment

The College will continue its mission-based commitment to access, inclusion, and belonging, to ensure that people from a wide range of backgrounds are inspired and able to join, thrive in, and strengthen the Bryn Mawr community as faculty, staff, students, parents, friends, and alumnae/i. 

Key Initiatives

• Expanding financial aid with the ultimate goal of need-blind admissions
• Building on the Beacon Initiative
• Continuing to invest in undergraduate educational access through expanded partnerships with community colleges, community-based organizations that support college access, and international partners
• Model access and inclusion by investing in professional development and educational attainment for our staff
• Continue to learn from our past in honest and clear-eyed ways and engage in an ongoing process of reckoning with and honoring its layered history

Taken together, such work will realize Bryn Mawr's values in action, notably the call in the College’s mission statement to “build fair, open and welcoming institutional structures, values, and culture.”
