The MIT Sloan Mission statement provides the context for core values that express who we are at our best. These core values include integrity, respect, collaboration, innovation, and positive impact.

MIT Values Statement

Responding to calls from the community that MIT would benefit from having a statement of shared values, in December 2020 the Institute charged the MIT Values Statement Committee to develop one through broad consultation across the MIT community. On April 12, 2022, President Rafael Reif, Provost Cynthia Barnhart and Chancellor Melissa Nobles shared the values statement with the community, with their strong endorsement.

MIT Sloan Statement on Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Well-being

The mission of the MIT Sloan School of Management is to develop principled, innovative leaders who improve the world and to generate ideas that advance management practice. We believe that a commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and well-being is a key component of both principled leadership and sound management practice.

MIT Sloan also shares MIT’s commitment to advancing a caring and respectful community that embraces diversity and empowers everyone to learn and do their best at MIT. We therefore seek to build an inclusive culture that supports the mental, emotional, and physical health of each member of our community. In doing so, we enable each person to fully express themselves, to thrive, and to make their maximum contribution to MIT Sloan and to society.

We seek to create a community that encompasses all dimensions of diversity and fosters excellence within MIT Sloan. This includes diversity of identity, thought, role, and perspective. Every member of our community — student, faculty, and staff — adds a valuable contribution. We learn as individuals and benefit as a community when we seek out and thoughtfully consider divergent ideas and perspectives.

As a leader in management education, we also have a unique opportunity to make a broader impact on social and economic inequity. By supporting teaching and research on the impact of socially and economically sustainable management, we can foster diversity and equitable business practices far beyond the borders of our campus.
