It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Justin Bell, Director of Nondiscrimination Initiatives at Wellesley College. Justin passed away recently, leaving a deep void in the hearts of his colleagues, friends, and the many lives he touched through his unwavering commitment to equity, inclusion, and justice.
During his time at Wellesley, Justin was a tireless advocate for creating a campus where all individuals felt seen, heard, and valued. His leadership in advancing nondiscrimination initiatives and fostering an inclusive environment made a lasting impact on the college community and beyond.
Known for his compassion, integrity, and quiet strength, Justin was more than a leader—he was a trusted mentor, a dedicated colleague, and a cherished friend.
Wellesley College mourns the loss of a remarkable individual whose work and spirit will continue to inspire. A memorial service will be announced in the coming weeks to honor his life and legacy.
He will be deeply missed.
