Welcome to the mills institute

Advancing equity.
Empowering change.

The Mills Institute at Northeastern University advances gender and racial justice through research, programs and partnerships that challenge systemic inequality and that facilitate the full inclusion of women, gender non-binary individuals, and BIPOC and other historically marginalized communities.

About us

Our programs

There are two male students sitting in the front view of the picture. There is one sitting in the middle of the picture with his eyes looking to the left and his right hand is lifted up. There is also a group of girls sitting at a table in the background with one of them with an orange long sleeve raising their hands. There is also a female Mills Institute director talking towards that group of girls table.
