Harvard Divinity School is committed to community and belonging as an expression of our [shared values](https://www.hds.harvard.edu/about/community-values) and attends to the needs of our vibrant, pluralistic community of faculty, students, staff, and alumni. We carry out these values with open hearts and open minds in service of honoring our shared humanity.

[Melissa Wood Bartholomew](/people/melissa-bartholomew "Melissa Wood Bartholomew"), MDiv '15, associate dean for community and belonging and lecturer on community and belonging, and Matt Kinnemore, community and belonging project coordinator, collaborate with colleagues across the School and University in service of the office's vision: "Rooting its work in love, and committed to the core academic mission of Harvard Divinity School, the HDS Office for Community and Belonging envisions a future in which all people embrace their common humanity, affirm their interdependence within a pluralistic world, and work to support the flourishing of all beings."
