Inclusion in Design (IiD) was launched by future professionals and stakeholders of the Weitzman School of Design’s success interested in issues and opportunities affecting marginalized students and students of color. Inclusion in Design is open to all Weitzman School students and interested in fostering an environment in which students of color, international students, marginalized identities, and their allies can thrive at the Weitzman School.
IiD brings practicing professionals in the City Planning, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Fine Arts, Historic Preservation, and Urban Spatial Analytics fields that identify as marginalized into the school for planning and mentoring purposes. Through providing a framework in which students can bring up difficult questions and foster a space where students can engage in critical discourses, IiD acts as a vehicle of interaction between students of marginalized identities and the faculty and administration at the Weitzman School. IiD seeks to hold the administration accountable for advancing policies and support of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Overall, IiD builds a foundation within the Weitzman School of Design where students of color, marginalized identities, and allies can support each other within a predominantly white institution.
