Meet the Director
A Note From Thomas
Howdy,
My name is Thomas Harwell and I have the privilege of serving as the Director of Student Diversity & Inclusion in the Questrom School of Business. Questrom is an incredibly diverse community of people representing over 100 countries around the world, who represent different races, gender identities, gender expressions, sexual orientations, religions, abilities, military service, socioeconomic backgrounds, thoughts, beliefs, involvement, and more; we are a community connected by difference.
As a part of my role, I work with a number of student groups within the undergraduate and graduate students who seek to explore the role that diversity plays in business. I work with offices within Questrom to make sure that our services and resources within Questrom are inclusive, and strive to provide educational forums for members of our community to engage in dialogues about difference.
I look forward to learning more about the members of the vibrant community that is Questrom School of Business. Please do not hesitate to connect, my email is harwell@bu.edu.
