The HKS Office of Belonging, Community, and Connection (OBCC) serves as a school-wide resource, working closely with school leadership, core departments, and research centers to:

• Promote belonging by ensuring that every member of the HKS community has access to-and can participate fully in-everything Harvard has to offer;
• Foster a pluralistic and inclusive community rooted in shared values;
• Facilitate meaningful and productive engagement across difference, both for those on campus and by forging connections to people and communities who are not well represented in our community.
